“It costs $1.1 million to read the Constitution of floor of Congress!!”
In our previous article (#4) there was a Flashback to 2011 and a “HuffPo” article that was sorta complaining about the “cost” to read the Constitution out loud in Congress – estimating it to be $1.1 million. Heaven forbid we should ever read the Constitution on the floor of Congress, right? Here’s the quote again from that article:
According to Peter Keating at Vanity Fair, $1.1 million is the estimated cost of GOP plans to read the document on the House floor.
The amount I get is nearly $1.1 million. $1,071,872.87, to be exact, though of course this is more back-of-the-envelope than exact. When one chamber of Congress is in session but not working, we the people still have to pay for members’ salaries and expenses, and for their police protection, and for keeping their lights and phones and coffee machines on.
“We always hear members of Congress talking about swearing an oath to represent their constituents, when in reality the only oath we take is to the Constitution,” explained newly-minted Speaker John Boehner to the Post.

This article unintentionally raises a great question…
How much does Congress SPEND every Hour?
Then we, “Barbie & Ken” read this article that in 2019 estimated the COST per HOUR spent per hour at $100 MILLION!
“As Democrats on the U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee grilled Michael Cohen, the former personal lawyer of President Donald Trump, many Republicans on the panel described the hearing as a waste of time and suggested government resources could be better spent tackling other issues.
Among those members was U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Austin.
Roy posed a series of rapid-fire questions to Cohen before offering his perspective on where lawmakers should really focus their attention.
“Real Americans in my district and across the country wanted the president to be president not in any way because he is perfect, but rather because they are sick and tired of this hellhole,” Roy said at the hearing. “They supported this president because they are sick and tired of the games we’re seeing here today. They are sick and tired of politicians who refuse to secure the border, balance our budget, restore healthcare freedom and then get the hell out of their way so they can lead their life.”
“They are mystified that we amass about $100 million in debt per hour, which means we’ve blown through 300, 400, 450 million dollars during this charade in amassing debt,” he said. “$450 million.”

Barbie & Ken have a Genius Idea!:
“PERFECT! We suggest that from now on CONGRESS only reads the Constitution!”
.
If Congress ONLY read the Constitution, and did it over and over and over, day after day, week after week, each Congressman taking turns, — wouldn’t that drop the national debt from $100 Million in expense, down to $1.1 million per hour? – and eventually PAY DOWN THE NATIONAL DEBT to zero? Brilliant!
It would also have a side benefit of maybe finally EDUCATING these government “servants” and drilling into their heads the limits and purposes of their powers. Haha!
And there you have it! There’s more PROOF that adherence to the Constitution would take down the national debt AND educate Congress to the limits of their contract with We the People AND hence help to SAVE AMERICA!
Ta-da! Anyone disagree? Anyone notice that we’re joking, but that we’re also sorta serious? hahaha Let’s try it!!
Oh, and another side benefit is that all the power-hungry people that are attracted to “being an Honorable Senator or Representative” and being able to spend, spend, spend, and become rich, rich, rich, — will find other ways to become important “somebodies”. With them outta the way, being a congressman would attract only TRUE Patriots.
Anyone disagree? Anyone? Anyone?
Using the Constitution to save the Constitution
Now, we’re being a little bit silly, but the absolute TRUTH is that the Constitution is the MOST POWERFUL weapon we have to help save this country! What’s also important to point out is that it also the most peaceful weapon, that will cost the least number of lives.
It will cost lives?
Yes. Using the Constitution as a “weapon” means that many Deep State TRAITORS who swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic — have committed the worst possible crime of TREASON against the American people. There is one price. Death by hanging.
Can you imagine what would happen if we started identifying the national criminals who have intentionally sold us out — taken bribes from China, Ukraine and Russia — to expose and endanger us. If these criminals were actually held to account for their crimes — and that kind of “business” was too dangerous and unprofitable — it would come to screeching halt FAST. It may take some time to root them all out, but it would STOP the problem. Guaranteed.
Yes! This is the most peaceful and quickest way to correct America’s course. And YES! we must do it, to signal to the rest of the world that We the People of the US are NOT their enemies — but that the corrupt and treasonous of our nations leaders are.
THAT is the EXACT reason that we have Oath of Office all government officials and military must swear to.
THAT is also why the highest price for Treason is what it is.
Yup! Use the Constitution to save the Constitution. The Constitution can SAVE AMERICA!
