I wonder if you would agree to passing an ironclad law, or preferably a Constitutional amendment, that would forbid anyone in the federal government from using the people's money to benefit any group, entity, or demographic that does not benefit everybody else regardless of political affliliation or socioeconomic status?
That is the only way I see that we will ever return to a Constitutionally limited government.
Wasn't that what the politicians claimed 'Affirmative action' was supposed to achieve?
No, we would have to deal with Affirmative Action on another front. But the Founders did not allow the federal government to collect or expend any monies that were outside the constitutionally mandated functions of government. At the same time, they warned us that the Constitution would be a jeopardy as soon as somebody figured out how to vote themselves money from the public treasury. Why they didn't plug that hole at the time is anybody's guess, but my best guess is that at the time, modern American liberalism was something even those great minds could not conceive as ever being possible.
I agree with what you've stated here, but my point was going back to what the politicians of the day were saying as they commandeered portions of the treasury for thier guilt and manipulation? (And subsequently what brought us to this point in history that needs to be whittled back)...
That's all I was asking.
