Wonder why nobody bats an eye at the out of control Medicare/Medicaid spending instead of a constitutional entity? No doubt there is government fat to trim but it is not solely on our defense spending.

While the founders had a lot of wisdom on many subjects, we shouldn't base any specific decisions regarding military spending on writings from men who had never seen tanks, metal ships, or aircraft. Neither should we base any specific decisions on health on writings by men for whom surgery with anesthesia was still a pie in the sky dream.

I think you are trying to get down into the weeds by cherry picking words instead of taking it for what it is. But I would argue, making decisions while ignoring the founding documents is not how it is to be accomplished either. The defense budget can be reduced by simply eliminating/reducing OCO spending and other spending leftover from Bush and Obama War on Terror policies. As far as Medicaid/Medicare, I think we all know why that has outpaced most budgetary items and where the fat can be cut.
