Here are a few subversive ideas.

Make Government responsible to the Voters as originally intended.

Federal, State and local Budgets, in peace time, cannot not exceed collected revenues of the previous year.

Term limits to ALL elected & politically hired or appointed persons.

No allotments or emergency $$$$ to any foreign nation, unless there is a Balanced Budget which it comes from.

$$$$ can only be taxed ONE time. No taxes on already taxed $$$$ placed into personal retirement accounts drawn at after age 60+.

#3 Because Congress alone has the power to enact a law to that effect, and they would never willingly neuter themselves.

There is always the option of States Convention by the Constitution. Any amendments that the convention would delivery would still require 3/4ths of the states to ratify. It's long overdue.
