Forget health care, government motors, bailouts, social security, medicare, cap and trade, and every other government program from here to there. Congress was never empowered to enact them.
This doesn't mean that people aren't relying on them or that some of the money has not been beneficial.
What it does mean is that all of these programs are unconstitutional and therefore inappropriate for the federal government to be providing.
Forget the "living Constitution." Article I, Section 8 is quite clear. What powers are not given to the Congress are reserved for the States or the people.
Well, maybe the people want the government to have more power - unlikely. Certainly not for very long.
We are a nation of entrepreneurs - first farmers and craftsmen, then merchants and inventors, and now businessmen and women. We thrive on free enterprise, not governmental parenting.
