That was just fiscal irresponsibility and not the responsibility of the taxpayers.If all of the victims' famalies became millionaires I would be happy about it.
WellsFargo -- I agree with you completely. We are in good company:
I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article in the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.... With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators.
-- James Madison, 1791
James Madison authored the Constitution, he knew what it meant.
If all of the victims' famalies became millionaires I would be happy about it.
Asclepius -- You are happy about enriching some at the expense of others. That makes you a socialist and a willing acomplice in the theft of my taxdollars for an un-Constitutional cause.
If it makes you so happy, clean out your own bank account, sell everything you own and donate the proceeds to the cause of your choice. Thats called charity.
What you support here is theft.
