Getting Big Time Back-up

The man who single-handedly takes down . . . everything, calls on the 50 United States to get together and take down Obama. If anyone can do it Chuck Norris can. Remember, he’s the one who has his own legendary jokes:

“Did you hear about Chuck Norris? He threw a hand grenade into a den of Islamic Terrorists. Killed 50 of them. Then the grenade blew up!”

Chuck is speaking out in support of a new constitutional convention which would stop the federal spendthrift once and for all – and stop Obama in his tracks. Norris spoke out for the plan in an article he wrote for WND, where the legendary super-hero said his plan meant there was:

“Finally hope on the horizon to control the federal fiscal insanity by the states’ initiative to force a balanced budget amendment via an Article V constitutional convention.”

“Washington’s out-of-control outlays remind me of the words of President Ronald Reagan, who said, ‘We could say they spend money like drunken sailors, but that would be unfair to drunken sailors. It would be unfair, because the sailors are spending their own money,’” Norris wrote.”

“A constitutional balanced budget amendment, or BBA, is not a new idea, and neither is the states’ push for such legislation,” he continued.

“However, what could be new to many Americans is just how close its enactment is to becoming reality. Unknown to many, 25 states have already called for the convention to add the BBA, and only nine more states (34 in total, or two-thirds) are required to force the convention.”

“Many state legislators are fearful of a BBA because they fear that it would put the U.S. economy in further jeopardy during recessions or years with lower federal revenue by forcing policymakers to cut spending, raise taxes or both; hence, ultimately leading to higher deficits and a weaker economy, or so they say.”

“The Congressional Budget Office projects that under current law over the next 25 years federal spending will increase to 36 percent of national income.” Norris quotes University of Colorado economist Barry Poulson:

“The increased deficits and debt that accompany this spending will result in retardation and stagnation in economic growth that will make it virtually impossible to balance the budget.”

“If we wait another decade to constrain spending the task of balancing the federal budget becomes insurmountable. By then the economy will be stagnating; and eliminating deficits will require that federal spending be cut in half, something that will never happen.”

“The window to stop and correct the economic chaos perpetuated by Washington is narrow and passing. Without intervention, Washington will spiral our economy to its point of no return. All other solutions for economic federal restraint or solvency have proven fruitless, despite the best of intentions of some. The only way to save our posterity from inevitable economic peril is to enact this BBA as soon as possible. There is no reasonable alternative.”

Go Chuck Norris! It’s time for the states to use Article V to take back our country from a corrupt President and a federal government that cannot live within its means.
