I visited huldah’s website some months ago.

It is trash history.

I would enjoy a live debate with him/her.

It’s good that there are critics in every debate. Criticism causes one to strengthen and fortify their underlying argument.

But in this case, from Post #9, I have clearly seen some very ‘confused’ thinking to put it politely.

This guy Huldah actually thinks the Founders controlled the budget by spending only in association with enumerated powers. And the first thing to ask, well what if Congress decides to spend 1000% of its tax revenues on the military? I may not have a problem with it depending on the circumstances. But it is ludicrous to think enumerated power spending provides for ‘control’ of spending.

Whereas Mark Levin suggests in one of the Liberty Amendments that Congress balance their budget or limit themselves to spending a certain percentage of GDP which has historically been between 15% and 20% (now about 25%).

Because an amendment that writes the word ‘percentage’ of GDP cannot be monkeyed around with like the phrase “provide for the General Welfare”. Percentage of GDP can still be abused as the definition and computation of GDP can be stretched to some political end, but that can be addressed and accounted for.

So Huldah appears to be not even a third rate critic. He wouldn’t even make the farm team in the minor leagues because his assertions are ludicrous. He’s an embarrassment to Conservatism.
