President Bush - More Unconstitutional Spending And Commitments

J.J. Jackson* | August 29, 2006

President Bush is no conservative. He is some weird form of “moderate” conservative on some issues but not above calling for the redistributing wealth outside of the bounds of the powers of Congress in Article I, Section 8. He is still promising more federal dollars to help clean up after Katrina.

BILOXI, Miss. — President Bush yesterday toured the Gulf Coast in the run-up to today’s Hurricane Katrina anniversary and rebutted charges that his administration had botched relief efforts, saying the federal government had provided money and the actual work needs to be done by the region’s governments.

“What we’re trying to do is just help you. The spirit’s here, the people want to succeed, and our job at the federal level is to help you succeed,” Mr. Bush said. - Washington Times

I do not care if you think that he should and feel the government should help out. The issue is that such spending is still unconstitutional.

And it just is not President Bush and the left-wing lite Republicans. It is even the Democrats (I know BIG surprise!).

But 25 House Democrats are countering Mr. Bush by planning to tour parts of the Gulf Coast this week. House Democrats have released a series of reports faulting the federal government for shortchanging housing and schools, for racking up wasteful spending, and for failing to ensure contracts go to small businesses.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, called the federal government’s response a “tragedy.”

“Hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens still await the help in rebuilding their hospitals, schools, businesses and homes that was promised last fall,” she said.

Of course you expect this kind of socialist claptrap from, well, a socialist. But the fact is we are so far in over a head with unconstitutional government in America that no one really cares. And everyone is just looking for his or her piece of the pie. Even if they didn’t contribute to the funding of that pie.
