Please point out the passage in the United State Constitution that authorizes the federal government to build private hospitals with tax monies.
You know the answer to that, so why ask? Is that the best you got?
Not the point, which you completely miss. This project, like so many others, will get build from the help of people who understand the needs of others in this country, no matter what their race, creed, status in life may be. We are just so accustomed to having billions of our tax money thrown down some meaningless "spider hole" that many of our self serving politicians pick.
Sometimes they might pick on the side of the angels, but most times they do not.
If you don't get it, you don't get it.
Earmarks should be eliminated, we would all agree. However to my point aforementioned, medical research funding seems to be ignored as H.R. 2764 included only a small increase of 0.46% for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), even though the President signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act for 2008.
Have a good day.
