If these a-holes in DC hadn’t LOOTED these funds (Highway Trust, Social Security, etc.) to BUY VOTES and ship billions of it to nations that hate us so they can repay the loans the international banksters advanced and we underwrote to protect their asses, etc.), there would be plenty of “money” in Malfunction Junction for all of the “necessary and proper” functions of government.
And if you don’t know why “money” is in quotes, you don’t understand the intent of the Founders expressed at Art.1, Sect.10 and I’d urge you to get up to speed on it.
No offense, but you’re (and I’m calling out most on FR here) rebuttal is 5 steps ahead of where it should begin:
One cannot loot what/where one does not (Constitutionally) have authority.
Repeal, rescind, abolish....Then start the debate.
But, I concur with your indignation
