In this second part of my Financial Responsibility Amendments series , I discuss the pressing need for financial responsibility amendments in the U.S. Constitution. I emphasize that our Constitution has been amended 27 times before, and can certainly be amended again. I firmly believe our nation urgently needs to establish clear guardrails for its financial management. I present three proposed amendments concerning our nation's finances.

The first, which I've named the Financial Heritage Amendment, seeks to limit the term of government debt and prevent borrowing money just to pay off existing debt. It mandates that all public debt be settled within a specified timeframe. The second, the Public Employees Fairness Amendment, tackles the power disparity between public employees and taxpayers. This amendment suggests a transition from defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans for public employees, ensuring a fair distribution of employment benefits. The third, the Regulatory Responsibility Amendment, addresses the overwhelming number of federal rules and regulations introduced without explicit congressional consent. This amendment would necessitate Congress's approval for new rules and regulations and set a timeframe for reviewing and approving existing ones. I stress the significance of enforcing these amendments and ensuring that citizens can seek their enforcement. I argue that our current system often lets agencies introduce regulations without adequate oversight.

Throughout my discussions, I underscore the urgency of addressing our nation's financial management and urge listeners to support these crucial reforms. I also delve into the constraints and prerequisites for executive orders issued by the President. I explain that executive orders have a lifespan of two years unless Congress approves them, and the President can't reissue the same order without such approval. However, internal regulations that don't impact the public are exempted. I also highlight the essential right of citizens to enforce the Constitution through legal channels. Our discussions often pivot to the financial freedom amendments, which I believe can pave the way for financial freedom and liberty for our future generations.

I recognize the complexity of these amendments and invite listeners to check out my website at DeGreen.com for a comprehensive written version. I'm also open to feedback and suggestions from responsible individuals to fine-tune the amendment wording. I genuinely believe these financial responsibility amendments transcend party lines and can resonate with both liberals and conservatives.

Acknowledging my age, I pass the baton to the younger generation, trusting them to continue this vital mission. Our discussions often touch upon the current political climate, suggesting that Republicans might be more receptive to these financial responsibility amendments. However, I stress that every American should be alarmed by our nation's spending habits and recognize the dire need for financial checks and balances. I remain hopeful that, united, we can successfully implement these amendments.

In this podcast episode I discuss the topic of climate change and the various perspectives surrounding it. I delve into the two rules I believe govern the discussion of climate change: common sense always wins over craziness, but it can take time for it to prevail, and subsidies distort markets and discourage innovation. I argue that instead of exploring cleaner and more efficient energy sources like natural gas, the government has been pushing for unreliable and expensive green energy that is heavily subsidized. I criticize the notion that our planet is facing a climate emergency and argue that worst-case scenarios created by computer simulations have not come to pass. I also dismiss the idea that the world is facing extinction and highlight the three schools of climate change: science, politics, and religion. I go on to critique some of the proposed solutions to combat climate change, such as banning meat consumption and limiting private vehicles. I question the credibility of organizations like the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group and express concern over the use of emergency powers by governments to push their climate agendas. I highlight the economic costs of climate change policies, including the impact on car manufacturers and the increasing subsidies for green technologies. I argue that these subsidies distort the market and prevent companies from investing in more efficient solutions. I also criticize the lack of evidence that government spending on climate change has any impact on actual climate change. I conclude by suggesting that planting trees could be a viable and cost-effective solution to combat global warming. I call for a reevaluation of current climate change policies and a focus on free markets and individual freedoms.

In this conversation, I discuss the urgent need for three constitutional amendments, which I call the Financial Responsibility Amendments (FRAs). These amendments aim to address the financial mismanagement of federal, state, and local governments. I explain that the government's excessive borrowing, raiding of public trust funds, and overspending have led to a dire financial situation. Criticizing the concept of modern monetary theory, which argues that monetarily sovereign governments can spend without constraints. I introduce the three FRAs: the Financial Heritage Amendment, the Public Employees Fairness Amendment, and the Regulatory Responsibility Amendment. The Financial Heritage Amendment aims to ensure that debts are repaid within a reasonable time, protect public trust funds, and require accurate financial reporting. The Public Employees Fairness Amendment seeks to eliminate unsustainable defined benefit plans for public employees and create equal treatment for public and private sector retirement plans. The Regulatory Responsibility Amendment aims to ensure that Congress approves regulations before they take effect, require periodic review of existing regulations, and limit the use of executive orders by the president. I strongly emphasize that these amendments are not partisan and do not infringe upon the rights of citizens. They provide a constitutional context for responsible financial decision-making and protect future generations' ability to make their own choices. I acknowledge that the transition to sound financial management will be complex and require careful consideration of existing practices. I encourage young people to lead the charge in advocating for these amendments, as I believe that the survival and financial well-being of the nation depend on it. He highlights the importance of the main goal of the financial responsibility movement, which is to achieve the ratification of all three FRAs and ensure their faithful implementation. I emphasize the importance of Article V of the Constitution, which outlines the amendment process, and assert that the fear of an open-ended convention is unfounded. We must take action to address the nation's financial challenges and preserve its greatness.
