In 2015 I spent my time in twenty-one different States. I was in ohio last week, by the way. And America doesn't trust you anymore that's the truth because they don't see the actions coming out of Congress that should be coming out and that doesn't mean that they're right all the time but you've lost their confidence and that's not one party that's both. Now, the unfunded liabilities of this country with it's debt is a hundred and fourty-two trillion dollars that's one million dollars per family or that's one million dollars per tax payer... either way you break it down nobody knows what a trillion is, but when you're telling a young family with two small kids, that you know, by the way... here's the debt burden that's coming to you over the next twenty-five years you better be prepared for it. Because the other point I would make with you is the standard of living in this country, although increased, the median family income is exactly the same as it was in 1988, and there's a reason for that and the reason for it is too much government and to intrusive a government these are real problems that you all have the capability to address and I came here to encourage you to do that I would also tell you that there's another movement afoot in the country and that is force you to do it and that's through Convention of States and two have passed this last week we're at ten and it won't be long til we meet the 34 state requirement and we will have a Convention of States and then we will make recommendations to the States one on a balance budget amendment using generally accepted accounting principles with very little room that will force you it'll give Congress the backbone to do what they need to be doing in the first place and also limitations and scope on jurisdiction and you're gonna see that coming forward and that now has 1,700,000 activists following it everyday involved in it 600,500 actually working at state capitals. One of the things the American people are asking you know quite frankly is you have an oath why do we have to have a constitutional amendment for Congress to do what's best for the country and they have decided that Congress can't do what's best for the country so they're gonna do it themselves under the constitution. In other words, the constitution actually is the powerful tool with which to solve the problem of our country it's big enough to solve the problem
