Discussion on the current debt crisis

Quote:I wish ignorance was painful.

 

This is from your beloved government's own mouth.

 

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:12.8000001907349px;color:rgb(70,62,62);"><b>Q. The United States government is frequently described as one of limited powers. Is this true?</b>

A. Yes. The United States government possesses only such powers as are specifically granted to it by the Constitution.

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:12.8000001907349px;color:rgb(70,62,62);"><b>Q. Then how does it happen that the government constantly exercises powers not mentioned by the Constitution?</b>

A. Those powers simply flow from general provisions. To take a simple example, the Constitution gives to the United States the right to coin money. It would certainly follow, therefore, that the government had the right to make the design for the coinage. This is what the Supreme Court calls "reasonable construction" of the Constitution (Art. I, sec. 8, cl. 18).

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:12.8000001907349px;color:rgb(70,62,62);"><b>Q. Where, in the Constitution, is there mention of education?</b>

A. There is none; education is a matter reserved for the States.

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:12.8000001907349px;color:rgb(70,62,62);"> 

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:12.8000001907349px;color:rgb(70,62,62);">Why don't you do some reading. Or continue to flap your jaws about things you clearly are uneducated about.

<b>Section. 8.</b>

<a></a>The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States

Really, just stop, you clearly have no knowledge of the constitution or of case law.

 

As I already stated, the constitution grants practically limitless power to the federal government via the legislative process. There is no constitutional constraint of the federal government's power except the procedural and structural stipulations it places on the form of the legislature.
