You are the one who said it is bogus, then you want me to prove you wrong?

Actually, I said you could do whatever you want. I am not obliged to do your research for you. People read this piece and believe it is true because they want it to be true. But there is no documentation. Some dime store novelist made it up over 100 years ago. As the TV show says, "the truth is out there." Some people choose not to look for it. Not my problem.

Too bad the story isn't true. Crockett was a charlatan.

Where is your documentation that it was made up 100 years ago by a dime store novelist?

Whether or not the reference is correct, the premise is right on. Congress has NO right to disperse the dollars of taxpayers to causes no matter how seemingly worthy, not sanctioned by the Constitution.

That is why we have deficits and high taxes at present. Congress took upon itself health care for seniors, welfare, and other sundry causes it had NO business involving itself with.
