Show me where in Article One, Section Eight Congress is authorized to loan money to banks. No such authority exists.

You're a stinking crony capitalist and a certified Domestic Enemy.

Litigated by George Washington at the time of the founding of the first Bank of the United States, in a fight between Hamilton and Jefferson. The necessary and proper powers clause pursuant to the enumerated power of congress to manage the nation's money is the constitutional basis. Asked and answered about forty million times. Learn some constitutional law if you are going to cite it.

Me, I don't try to be more "originalist" than George Washington and Alexander Hamilton. You haven't got a leg to stand on. There is a reason great Americans created the great institutions that made this country, and your ignorant attacks on them reflect only on you, and not on those institutions or this country.
