Congress has authority to give money to other countries. We have from the very first congress. Those who think they know better than the authors and ratifiers of the Constitution what is constitutional are self-professed fools by definition. Of course many miss the point that Davy is not talking about aid to foreigners.

Here is your opportunity to rise above all of us "self-professed fools", quote Chapter and Verse from the Constitution where the fedguv is authorized to give my money to anyone. You seem to think this is a clear cut case, so it shouldn't take more than a minute or two of your time. Right? I'm anxious to sit down and STFU this morning so make your case. Blackbird.

I suppose that statement is hard for a living constitutionalist to understand, considering the intellectual limits that incline one to be a living constitutionalist.

The Constitution must mean what it always meant. Or it means nothing.
