Eighty to 90% of the Federal government has no Constitutional authority.

Agreed. But there is a fly in the ointment.

The federal government is NOT allowed to rule over whatever it wishes, just because they can muster a majority vote in Congress. Where in the hell did our rulers in Congress give themselves the authority to outlaw incandescent light bulbs and require seat belts? By definition, the feds can do only what the Constitution says in writing they can do, and nothing more. (Please read the Ninth and Tenth Amendments.)

But there are a few things that the Constitution does not allow that we might not want to give up. For example, the Constitution does not mention Social Security, so by all rights it should be ended. All things “environmental” see no mention in the Constitution, so we should see no impact.

I can see Strict Construction, but…

Where did our rulers in Congress give themselves the power to force every working American to participate in a mandatory Ponzi Scheme?

That's right ...

They invented it out of thin air.
