I'm fairly certain that it says nowhere in the Constitution that the government has a duty to take money from the hard working people of America and hand it over to those too stupid to manage their own lives property. If you can find that part of the Constitution where it dictates that please share it with us, but I'm pretty sure it's not there. So, yes, you can cut welfare and if they end up on the streets that's the result of their actions and their choices in life. As for the children affected by it, that's life.

Regualting profit is what businesses do. If businesses weren't about profit, then there would be no point in running a business. Sheesh. How can that be untrue? I don't care if you work at a bank. I've worked at large corporations. If one of the companies I worked at didn't continue to increase profit, they wouldn't have become a monopoly.

Re: Democrats cut Billions in Pork
I'm sorry Iron, but the statement he is quoting really doesn't make sense. I think you may have misstated ----at any rate, I think you should go back and correct it. You were wrong.

Re: Democrats cut Billions in Pork
No thats ok, the cookie was probably just mass produced in some faceless factory run by an oppressive economic overlord who laughes as he rapes the working class for every penny they have. I couldn't have that on my head.
I'm willing to offer you free economic lessons though if you are interested in learning. |

Well, one interpretation of the Constitution is that the federal government can only spend our money on a few certain things, with the rest being delegated to the states. That interpretation was overruled in the 1930s. Frankly, while I don't subscribe to it completely, I think we'd be better off if the feds were doing less and the states were doing more. |

Re: Democrats cut Billions in Pork
Of course they are there to make profit. The way you seem to think they regulate their profit is completely nonsensical.
