1) The Constitution allows Congress to spend money for roads and for a standing Army. As a matter of fact, they have an obligation to do so.Tecumseh wrote:I for one am tired of the public roads. Congress should not be paying for them nor should it be paying social security, welfare, disability, for a standing army, for the FDA, for any sort of agricultural subsidies, no oil subsidies, no research for any sciences, no disaster relief, or any of that. The biggest form of welfare is going to states. http://247wallst.com/2012/08/03/states- ... l-money/2/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The majority of those states are GOP controlled states.

It is nice to see that the Obama administration got it right when they turned Texas down for FEMA relief after the fertilizer plant exploded.

Isn't it?
I am sorry but in reality I have no problem with the government using money to help others. It is easy to complain about welfare recipients buying steaks or having expensive cars, phones, or TV sets but how do you know they didn't have them before they got on the welfare? And why aren't we complaining about subsidies to companies and corporations? Corporations are people and it is insane to see some "people" get billions of dollars of tax money and not complain about it but do complain when another person gets a few thousand a year to eat with. Isn't it?
2) The Constitution does not allow Congress to hand out paychecks to professional couch potatos who refuse to work.
3) People are complaining about corporate subsidies. Particularly the ones that Barry is handing out to his friends and campaign contributors who then pocket the money while their front companies are folded under bankruptcy.
4) How's that Kool-Aid taste?
