OK, lets see the facts, because your rant has NO basis in facts.

I've showed you the facts...over and over. What part do you deny? SHOW me what fact you disagree with and then show me what the correct one is...I'll wait.

Where in the Constitution does it say anything about providing subsidies to farmers; guaranted home loans to veterans; Medicare to seniors; corporate tax breaks; safety regulations for airlines; or tax deductions for mortgage interest?
Grow up or better yet - shut up.

It doesn't and why are we doing it? MOST farms are owned by megacorporations who make a killing "farming". Guaranteed home loans are a bribe to get people to join the military. Medicare is paid for by the beneficiaries...we could replace it with insurance that pays your healthcare AFTER you turn 65...what you pay in during your career determines what you get back after 65. If government didn't bribe so many people, if it didn't take care of 50% of the population with some benefit...taxes wouldn't need to be so high. Trust me...if your planes are falling out of the sky...nobody is going to fly your airline. WHY is there a tax deduction for a home? A SECOND home? We could get rid of 90% of the government and still do just fine...probably better.

Please re-read my original post. I never said eliminate the Treasury. I said the Departments of Defense, Treasury and commerce were the only departments formed by the states when they formed the federal government.
My point was really to say that Trump or any president for that matter should just drain the swamp s/he needs to reduce it because its so big that Washington people spend ll their time in meetings and never accomplishing anything

I didn't say get rid of the treasury either...reread my reply...I said they USE all those government agencies to skim FROM the treasury...the taxpayers.

Where in the constitution does it say that there will be roads, water supplies, waste water treatment, electricity, internal combustion engines, oil, plastics, fertilizers, anti-bacterial drugs, surgery, fire protection.....list goes on and on....just because it is SPECIFICALLY not mentioned in the Constitution, does not mean that it should not be developed and that government has a responsibility to the citizens for its safety.....grow up, or better yet, learn something
|
It doesn't. Who says the GOVERNMENT has to do all those things?
Things would get developed WITHOUT the government...why would you think they wouldn't?
WHY is the government responsible for my safety? Why can't I be responsible for my own safety? Because your afraid of the anarchy of corporations gone wild, taking advantage of everyone? Maybe for a little while...but not for long...as word gets out...they go out of business.

Yes, there are so many on the extreme right that feel the best way to move is backwards. That is why I call them REGRESSIVES. The opposite of REGRESSIVE is PROGRESSING.
Of course, there have been so many innovations made since the beginning of the country that could not have been placed piecemeal into the Constitution. The "strict constructionist" viewpoint is that if something is not mentioned specifically in the Constitution, it is a power reserved for the individual state. In the words of a great military leader, COL Sherman T. Potter, "Meadow Muffins!"

I cannot agree more, and then when their simple wishes are not met, they blame everyone else for being so short sighted.
Talk, learn and legislate for the ENTIRE COUNTRY. That is just in my head when I heard Trump cancelled trying to eliminate NAFTA when he was shown a electoral map and how many would be out of work in states that supported him. I honestly dont know if that i true but it just reinforces my concern.....he is now President of the entire United States, and his constantly replaying the election is scary. Reach out to the entire country

Backwards? Who is moving backwards? The "progressives" who are encouraging a minority majority? Who's policies have brought Americs from 90% white and #1 in the world...to 50% white and #25?
You are DESTROYING your own country...allowing it to become Mexico II.
