[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 339310, member: 8259"] I do not have enough time to respond to everything but I thought that I would try and explain my line of thought on these two issues. You are right some money makes its way to the military indirectly from other areas in the budget but some money in the military bills is directly allocated to non military things. I personally think every item of spending in Congress should stand on its own for an up or down vote. My point was that Diesel said our founders would not want to fight this war. I say you could at least make a case that the founders gave the central government the power to wage war. I did not say that I agree with how Congress uses this power today or that they even had an actual declaration of war. I do not however think that founders ever had the intention of a federal government providing retirement or health care. In your other post you avoided that and just posted how it passed the courts. Oh and I do not of course think that the US being in Iraq is being a police force to the world I of course as I have said before believe there was a direct threat to our citizens. That may be only a small difference to you but it makes a big difference from my point of view. You guys have a great day. [/QUOTE]
