Here We Go! More Tax Payer Dollars Redistributed Unconstitutionally!

J.J. Jackson | April 1, 2008 

The Department of Labor is still at it, sending your tax dollars all over the place to pay for things the Constitution doesn’t allow. As always, I’ll give anyone that actually wants to try to argue that any of these expenditures are constitutional a chance to look like an idiot.

All of these are right out of the DoL from their news releases:

U.S. Department of Labor announces $250,000 grant to assist Iowa’s Cedar Valley region in establishing successful economic development strategies
U.S. Labor Department reaches $1 billion paid in Part E benefits under Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act
U.S. Department of Labor announces $250,000 grant to Missouri to develop four-state talent development strategies
U.S. Department of Labor announces $250,000 grant to Minnesota to develop interstate economic development strategies with Wisconsin

U.S. Department of Labor awards $125 million in third competition for President’s Community-Based Job Training Grants
U.S. Labor Department’s MSHA issues increased funding for state health and safety training grants
Database of more than 1,700 job candidates with disabilities to be made available to employers
U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao announces $5 million grant to assist Georgia in base realignment and closure transition
U.S. Department of Labor’s OSHA seeks applications for $6.7 million in new safety and health training grants
U.S. Department of Labor awards $2.3 million to aid Greensburg, Kan., in continued tornado recovery
U.S. Labor Department’s MSHA fines Utah coal operator $420,300

Anyone want to take a stab at arguing for these things under the Constitution? Anyone?
Your tax dollars at work here folks.
