    The Constitution allows a budget process, but tax dollars may only be spent on things the Congress has power over. Such as, the 18 enumerated powers. If you disagree, then explain why they are there and has the 10th amendment to back it up.

    Well until it's challenged in court, yes. lol.

    Seriously though, the Constitution allows a budget process. I've already quoted it once.

    “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.”
    Unless we have differing interpretations of "appropriations made by law" (y'know, the budget process), I don't know understand what you're getting at here.

    The question is why? What is he afraid of? That the commies won't like him anymore? What would be so wrong with saying "Well, ok... remember now, you asked for this..." and shutting her down for as long as he could? That would hurt those marxist pricks a lot because their shitbag constituents would have to start looking at that as a failure on their part.

    Nope.

    Article 6
    ...This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof...shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

    Also, I think you need to take a gander at the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act.



    What I meant was they have an income less than 150% of the poverty line. Poor choice of words on my part. If anyone here had any semblance of intelligence they probably would have understood what I meant and instead discussed it, rather than attack it. Not that I expect that kind of debate here.
    I knew exactly what you meant, so did everyone else. We just don't like the democrat's "poverty line". Its just a pathetic and see through attempt at garnering pity so they can continue to be communists. It seems you just aren't "intelligent" enough to know that people making fun of you know what you were saying.

    No, that's a fallacy. Don't worry. It doesn't make you stupid, just ignorant.

    Just a word to the wise Durantula/Zarathustra/Gpamp, your faux intellectualism is about as tolerated on DFWMustangs as it was on DFWStangs. You'll be eaten alive just like last time.

    Yes, I'd love to see this riveting insight into the psyche of Durantula.
