Will somebody please tell me what article, section and clause of the federal Constitution authorizes federal lawmakers to spend money on foreign aid in the first place?

On second thought, never mind. This is just another example of constitutionally clueless Obama spending our tax dollars using non-existent federal government powers. (fact-based corrections welcome)

This post (<-click) shows how misguided, spending-happy politicians like Obama are foolishly following in the footsteps of FDR's dirty politics. The problem with FDR is that he scandalously ignored the Founder's requirement for constitutionally enumerated federal powers in order to start his New Deal programs, particularly those powers which reasonably justify federal spending.

The people need to wise up to politicians like Obama who are ignoring their oaths to defend the Constitution, sending them home as opposed to trying to put people like him in the Oval Office.

It's right next to the right to an abortion.

“The people need to wise up to politicians like Obama who are ignoring their oaths to defend the Constitution, sending them home as opposed to trying to put people like him in the Oval Office.”

Point 1: “Public” school indoctrination into the socialist paradigm. The Constitution is not a wriiten contract between the American people and their government; but rather, a “living document,” to wit: meaningless.

Point 2: Government intervention against parents who shape their childrens’ views on cultural issues, including usurpation by “activist” courts so to abrogate parental authority and replace parents with government agents whom inculcate submission to global collectivism.

Point 3: MSM, Hollywood, and Touchy-feely television... all used to effectively revise American history and culture, so to subvert each new generation into the collective, and thus finish the job of destroying individual thought, replacing reason and personal responsibility with victimhood and tribalism.

The communists were never defeated. They came here, and we became them. Unless you are willing to bear arms against the state, these trends will not reverse, but will acquire greater intensity, becoming more homogenized into the American psyche... IMO, we are beyond the point of no return... The monster has indefatigable momentum and power.

The time to stop “it” was during the administrations of Wilson and FDR. Note that both these men: stoked the fires for global war (WWI & II); set up the American public to take the bait and enter war; and then used war as a pretense to justify granting the state limitless power and authority over the individual. Sound familiar?
