A friend in the Army Corp of Engineers told me a couple of weeks ago that the federal government tried to do this same thing back in ‘95 or ‘96 when we had the same government budget limit issue, and he said the courts slapped the fed’s attempt down and prevented them from doing this. If that’s the case, then a legal precedent was set that I would think should hold up again this time. Thoughts?
read this discussion (dating from 2006) and you will be wiser than your friend

However, what happened in the past, under a different Congress and a different presdient....is not guaranteed to happen again under the lawless arrogant contemptuous fobs now running the USA into the ground. These effete foreign- raised snobs like obama and geither would love to remake America because they currently hate Americans
