Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

To advocate the destruction of the United States by any means, not just violent overthrow, is an act of treason.  Therefore anyone who advocates or votes for the economic destruction by spending us into bankruptcy is a traitor.  This wuld include virtually every Democrat and most of the Republicans.  And a lot of Independents too.

Tom and ALL of the communists and socialists fromthe left side of the aisle still don't get it.  They are so intent on their failed entitlement and handout programs, and the only thing that will satiate these failed policies is the actual bankruptcy of our Nation. Even then, they will not admit their misguided policies are failures and have been for seventy years.  
 
I say we outlaw any and all socialistic programs, and anyone who advocates for such programs be immediately imprisoned or deported.
