That doesn’t mean they should spend our money the way they have been. They work for us not the other way around.

If you’re interested, read Federalist #30 by Alexander Hamilton. That is the way taxation was intended in the Constitution.

I totally disagree with the way our money is spent, but it’s not illegal to be stupid. Vote with care, not emotion.

I thought we were talking about the fed, bank bailouts, etc.

those are powers left to the states (by exclusion) in an intentionally limiting document.
