You mean the way it was done for the first 100 years of our nation? In fact, when our nation was brand new, in Virginia for instance, only White, Male, Land Owning, Educated, Protestants could vote, everyone else was prevented from doing so, because they were too STUPID to be allowed to participate in something so critical.
Ah yes, "organized labor", the BANE of the American "free enterprise system". It's you vaunted "organized labor" that killed our steel industry, our automotive industry, and every other industry that it's touched. Why do you think so many businesses closed up shop and headed overseas? Because it's STUPID to pay some under-educated ***** $35 an hour to tighten lugnuts on an assembly line when you can pay someone $10 an hour, and get a better job, and more production out of them.
Again, your glaring IGNORANCE of our history is abundently clear. Originally they didn't bring money back home to their districts, because there 1) was no money for them TO bring back, and 2) they understood that it was UNCONSTITUTIONAL TO DO SO. Do us all a favor and take a basic history class on post revolution colonial America before you convince everyone that you're a blithering IDIOT!
Agreed.
WRONG! They are totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL expendatures, and should be done away with IMMEDIATELY unless or until a constitutional amendment is passed authorizing them.
We need to eliminate ALL of our "foreign aid", because it too is totally unconstitutonal. What it really boils down to is not "how we spend our money and where", it's how we eliminate ALL spending that is not specifically authorized by the constitution. THAT will cure ALL of our financial problems. If YOU want to help other people, whether here at home or "the poor starving kids in Africa", feel free to send as much of YOUR money as you wish, but you do NOT have the right to take MY money and give it to anyone else.
