Here's what you wrote:
You see, I have a moral problem with funding all Federal programs that aren't specifically enumerated in the Constitution.
My response: Oh spare me that old, lame ass right wing crap! Federal regulations for clean drinking water, healthy food, highways, air travel, immuniztions, hospital/doctor standards of treatment, train travel, etc. Since you use one or more of these on a regular basis, that makes you a liar and a hypocrit!
As any rational adult with the high school GED and an understanding of critical thinking would agree, it is YOU who failed to substantiate your assertion, thus your entire premise falls apart.
I don't necessarily agree that all that crap is best served by use of the federal government. Then you are TRULY a willfully ignorant neocon parrot! Either that or you are just plain ignorant about this country's history, the role of Federal agencies and just plain civics that were (or use to be) taught in 8th grade. That being said, if a super majority believes that stuff is worth regulating/ funding by the feds, then the Amendment process should be used, not usurpation of the Constitution, which again, I find to be immoral; the reason being that many thousands shed blood and treasure in an oath to protect it. The end does not justify the means.
Hence your argument in the OP fails.
What fails is your convoluted logic.....the process by which this bill was passed was legal and above board.....AMENDMENTS come AFTER a bill is made law, you ignorant lout! Also, the SCOTUS could rule against the law, or a State Attorney could file suit against it! But this takes place AFTER the bill goes through the process and becomes LAW. That was done fair and square, the Dems using the same processes the GOP used in the recent past.
So you can spin all the fantastic scenarios you want...given your admitted ignorance as to how basic gov't is crucial to maintain the infra-structure of your life, I have no cause to further entertain your blatherings.
