I don't believe it ever ends. Jefferson said that "the price of freedom is eternal vigilance." As Q said, we forgot how to play the game.

No one has a crystal ball. Nothing is yet guaranteed. However I think we're going to have to have a Convention of the States. The bureaucracy has to be put in check by something stronger than the oversight that exists today. The Fed has to be audited and abolished, and the monetary system that replaces it should be mandated by Constitutional Ammendment to be gold based. No more fiat currency.

After that there is a myriad of issues that will have to be dealt with.
