POPSGovernment Bailouts Unconstitutional, Well Sorta..
Up until the new deal Constitutional limitations were strictly enforced upon congress. However Roosevelt grew angry when told that he did not have the authority to enact all these government regulations and interventions into the private sector. His response was to replace these aging constructionist Supreme court judges with ardent NEW DEAL supporters and the rest like they say is history. No longer was it necessary to actually write legislation that had to be voted upon and approved through the regular democratic process, now all that needed to be done was for the Supreme court to legislate the Presidents objectives from the bench.

As our bombings follow them, beleaguered villagers have little choice but to leave their homes and join the swelling numbers of refugees or take up arms and join the fight against us. Nonetheless, instead of recognizing the cascading unintended consequences of trying to deal with Pakistan’s problems, all signs in Washington point to further escalation. Both the House and Senate have newly introduced bills to triple foreign aid to Pakistan, from $500 million to $1.5 billion, with every indication that the leadership in Pakistan is taking advantage of the situation with the Taliban to milk more aid from the US taxpayer. We are broke. This is money we don’t have, and it is an insult to the American people to run up the national credit card for this type of military adventurism after many Americans thought they were voting for peace.
