The Nazi "doctors" are laughing in their graves at the irony of a bill for PSYCHIATRIC DISEASE being used as the nucleus (not 'nuculus' by the way, dang it!) for a return for National Socialism.
If you and I used such deceitful techniques to creatively get around our taxes, etc. of course the government would accept that, right?
And it violates the 10th amendment? Which one is that? What are you talking about, that the power to take this money and do this thing was not enumerated in the Constitution?
When our elected and appointed officials swear allegiance to the Constitution, and then after that turn around pull such schemes as this, it's like arguing the definition of "is" and is a crime in itself. Why am I surprised at any of the illegalities we are being attacked with when we've let things descend this far...

It wasn’t unconstitutional. The bill originated in the house as a pork bill. The Senate amended the bill to put in the bailout.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Of course, the other problem is how much our representatives are more influenced by money than voters anyway. They are even bribing each other with our tax dollars to ignore us.
