I support the Constitution and it gives the federal government the authority to wage war. I'm yet to see anything in the Constitution where the feds have authority over this.

LOL - you sound exactly like desh did when she was asking why rightie posters weren't signing up for the Iraq War.
Congrats.

So, you're saying it's unconstitutional, and the the disaster relief act is unconstitutional, and that FEMA is unconstitutional?
And the question of whether or not war is constitutional is irrelevant to the discussion of taxpayer money. Iraq was unnecessary, and cost trillions - and you supported it.
When YOU asked the question about the Iraq War, you made it relevant.
It's your OPINION that it was unnecessary. I think spending trillions on social welfare is unnecessary. Also, while I can show where waging war is a Constitutional authority of the federal government, you can't show the words food stamps, Medicaid, WIC, Section 8 housing, etc. anywhere in the Constitution. What it boils down to is your disagree with Iraq and because you're a Liberal, you believe your claim that it was unnecessary makes it so.
Unless the decision to pull for the "D" in those 8 wards was made based on the race of the person elected.
Don't recall all of them. But they may have. The instance I mentioned he did (as did others in neighboring states). Virginia got the no.

Don't you support Trump? He thinks the decision to invade Iraq was an unmitigated disaster. How can you vote for someone who disagrees w/ you on such a key issue?
Iraq was absolutely unnecessary to the defense of the homeland. That's not opinion.
It's just ideological to you. Saving Flint is peanuts - truly peanuts. Again, this is an area where - fortunately - most reasonable Americans concur.
Are you claiming I voted for Trump? If so, show anything where I said I did.
It is an opinion but you dumb Liberal motherfuckers can't understand that because you say it, it is fact.
It's Constitutional to me. I don't give a damn how little it is. I didn't create the problem.
Again, you're defining reasonable because you agree yet you won't provide YOUR definition of reasonable.
It's peanuts....
And so it is that peanuts can become 17trillion bucks.
It all adds up.

Yes, I believe FEMA is unconstitutional. If it is not duly authorized by the US Constitution for the federal government to do then I believe it is unconstitutional. You of course believe otherwise because you believe in a nanny state. You believe the federal gobblement should be the insurer of last resort which sounds really great but you completely discount the impact of moral hazard.

There is such a huge difference between "nanny state" and disaster relief that it's not even worth discussion.
Nanny state is requiring people to wear seat belts. Disaster relief is when immediate action is needed to save lives.
Honestly, I'll never relate to you guys. We'll have to agree to disagree on whether or not the feds should act to save kids from being poisoned. I'll never change my position that they should.
The peanuts argument is the same one they make when it comes to social welfare programs. Interesting how over 50 years of the war on poverty, $22 trillion dollars worth of "peanuts" has been spent only to produce the same percentage in poverty as existed prior to it being spent.

Anything other than what you believe.
Let the local government that fucked it up solve their own problems. See how easy that is? Your answer is to force those that didn't fuck it up to fund the fixing of it.
Typical Liberal mindset of "I said it so you shut up and do it".
How much have YOU personally sent to Flint?
The problem with your position is you demand I help pay for something you won't voluntarily do yourself.

And you're a cold hearted asshole. This isn't some hypothetical or theoretical argument about the proper role of governing.
There is a problem. People are being poisoned by lead contaminated water in this City. That's an established fact. The focus now must be on fixing this problem for the common good and for the health and safety of the citizens of Flint. If Federal resources are required to fix the problem so be it but FIX IT.
Once its fixed you black hearted unconscionable assholes can argue about who's at fault and who shall foot the bill until the cows come home but, as I said to PiMP, in the mean time, STFU and get the hell out of the way of the problem solvers who will fix this cause you sure as hell aren't one of them.
