And to keep the answer shorter, what spending is constitutional? How many current elected officials agree with you?

What income revenues are constitutional?

No one is asking you to join picket lines while vacationing with your family. Not publicly celebrating government strong arm tactics against another union feels like a pretty low bar to clear.

R’s control all branches of government. If it’s that easy why aren’t they doing it yesterday instead of pitching a budget proposal that adds trillions more to the debt? Since I watched the circus last time it was in town I’ll tip you off: Don the Con is about to leave you high & dry on the budget. But not to worry- lest the true believers be disappointed he’ll unveil a perfectly satisfying excuse of why it’s all the fault of Nancy Pelosi & the radical left Marxists.

“control” is a little bit misleading… it’s true the Rs have a majority but you can’t pass a bill into law unless you have enough votes (60) to break a filibuster in the Senate. Personally I’d like to see the filibuster go away (simple majority) as the Ds stated last year (before the elections and when they though they’d have the majority) they would abolish the filibuster and push through the socialist agenda they had in tap. Time for FAFO to be implemented by the Rs if the Ds keep voting block NO on everything…

Everything outlined in the 16th Amendment, as upheld by Brushaber in the Supreme Court.

I agree, but I was looking for our resident Austrian School flat earther to tell us why the 16th Amendment and Brushaber are unconstitutional.;)

Any politician who starts meddling with those “unconstitutional revenues” (is that Heritage Foundation speak?) might as bend over and lick the third rail. Come to think of it…..

Income tax (maybe) and tariffs. Honestly I'm not sure about a sales tax.

There is a theory out there that the 16th Amendment wasn't lawfully ratified. I'm 85% sold on it, but not 100%.

Because they get reelected by doleing out the pork. And the Federal Reserve just prints money out of thin air, so no one really cares because any pain that results is distributed/diffused among the entire population.

At least they were cheap vacations. Trumps golfing trips are very expensive giving how much he bills the government for his Mar Lago stays. Who was it who said Obama should not be golfing twice a month when he was President?
