Is it unconstitutional, as he says? Maybe.
But this ain't the UN. We can actually get some stuff done, instead of sitting around wringing our hands.
Sure, people are willing to let their representatives allocate our tax monies for some things we didn't expressly approve.
But we most definitely aren't going to subject it to a legistlative process, when the money is needed now. We have more common sense than to do that.

I have to say that I agree. The government has no authority to allocate any money for disaster relief. But what can he do? If he'd taken Rep. Crockett's stand, almost no one- including 90% of those who voted for him- would let him take that podium on Jan. 20.

The real issue here is whether such so-called Federally-funded disaster relief is Constitutional. No, the real issue here is whether the fruits of your labor are your 'property'.

"We have the right, as individuals to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity, but as members of Congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money."
Exactly.
I'll not support any candidate who believes otherwise.
