If you want to understand where we are, think about the fact that every single Republican running for president supports the centerpiece programs of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal and Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society.
Which were never constitutional in the first place.
“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.”
— James Madison, the father of the U.S. Constitution
No candidate can win presidency if he/she purports to cut social security or medicare. No wonder they are ALL for keeping those programs going...until the system goes bankrupt, but they will be long gone by then.
