Gee, more help from the federal government to make Detroit a model city!

I presume the federal monies for these schemes will be paid out of some slush fund controlled by the administration and not controlled by Congress. It must be that Congress at some time, perhaps the porkulous bailout, vested the administration with monies to be paid out at its discretion. Perhaps this comes from another source.

At some point this has simply got to stop. At some point either the Congress itself must retrieve the reins of governance or the Supreme Court must hold that all of these delegations of authority and spending to the executive branch constitute unconstitutional abdication of the article 1 vesting of legislative power in the Congress. At some point Congress must simply stop passing over arching legislation like Obamacare which says in effect, Mrs. Secretary of Health Education and Welfare, go write 26,000 pages of regulations to reform the American healthcare delivery system as you think best. By the way, if you have to decide whether a child lives or dies because she receives or does not receive a vital organ, go ahead.

There has to come a time when the delegation is so broad that it becomes an abdication of the constitutional duty for legislation to repose only in Congress.

70 years of LIBERAL economic disinvestment and social destruction will now be addressed by bulldozers and food stamps. This is the RAT the model for every city and municipality in the US. Where is the Republican outrage? We need a new party.
