Why do you think the states united in the first place.....? to get oil subsidies....?

Are "non-sequiturs" now considered a good debate strategy?

When you start making some sense..we can talk.

now you know why i call him whining eagle.

Because you have nothing intelligent to say?
Note that he did not say anything in his post. All of those were comments on Twitter by Republicans.
They were right, of course. "Investment" in government terms is another way of saying spending. If any company "invested" like the government did they would be out of business.

That's because National Defense is a power remitted to the Federal Government in the Constitution. General Welfare is not.

i'm going to pretend that's a typo.

No, she meant it. That's the best part. The person who loves to cite the constitutionality of everything doesn't even know what it actually says. Shocking? Not at all.

You are mixing statecraft and socialism..and now talk about "twisting things"?

Amazing!

When you come out of la la land and stop calling our common defense "socialism"....you might start to make some sense...

 

[Sallow]

So you also think our allies and us united against a common enemy is a form of "socialism"....? you libs really know how to twist things...

You are mixing statecraft and socialism..and now talk about "twisting things"?

Amazing!

So just because YOU say military defense is a form of socialism, and you give us absolutely NO evidence of this. We are supposed to believe it....?

Are you F-ing crazy???? Military defense is NOT a form of socialism!

Yep, you libtards are twisting things so much its scary.

Private industry has provided many countries with "defense".

The United States took that industry over.

As in a government take over.

As in using a collective as opposed to a private form of providing a service.

As in socialism.

Unbelievable.... simply unbelievable how dense you idiots really are.

idjit...

Nobody "took that industry over".....it was an agreement among the States....because they recognized that together they were stronger than being separate...

LOL, I'm aware. She's called me worse. It's all she knows. Watch out if you ask her why her post count is so high, you should see the names you get called then.

The government took over the role of defense. Doesn't matter whether it was "agreed" upon or not. The government is providing the service.

That's socialism.

Politics for dumb people ...

Congress Passes Socialized Medicine and Mandates Health Insurance -In 1798

In July of 1798, Congress passed – and President John Adams signed - “An Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen.” The law authorized the creation of a government operated marine hospital service and mandated that privately employed sailors be required to purchase health care insurance.

Keep in mind that the 5th Congress did not really need to struggle over the intentions of the drafters of the Constitutions in creating this Act as many of its members were the drafters of the Constitution.

And when the Bill came to the desk of President John Adams for signature, I think it’s safe to assume that the man in that chair had a pretty good grasp on what the framers had in mind.

I bet you dummies also think the Founders intended this to be a christian nation.

Honestly, not much. But it is true that military spending in the form of wartime spending, pushes to develop new technologies, or programs like the space race drive innovation in the USA. An insane number of the products we use today have roots in military spending.

I've said for a long time that if the military were handed the mandate to build a modern military that could defend this nation in the event that we were cut off from foreign oil that they'd pull it off. And the inovation necessary to build tanks, boats, and planes that could run on limited/no oil would completely change the game here at home.

It's really surprising that those that cry out against "socialism" think military spending is somehow "sacred". It's not. It's a very big form of socialism. In fact, the United States Constitution is in part..socialism. There are articles and clauses that are socialism.

And I notice in the Republican responses..they focus on national defense (socialism) and breeze right over general welfare (socialism).

That's because National Defense is a power remitted to the Federal Government in the Constitution. General Welfare is not.

And, FYI: I have argued for more control over Government funded Military R&D projects and would happily support better oversight on excessive spending by contractors. Where I draw the line is anything that damages the effectiveness and safety of our front line troops.

I guess that's why "General Welfare" is not in the Constitution at all....

And yet, right wingers don't believe in education, they believe in "mysticism".

Define "general welfare" please

 

[BlackAsCoal]

Mr. President John Adams, you don't believe in the Constitution .. you helped to write .. you believe in socialism.

 

[Sallow]

It's basically what the Congress decides it is.

That's why it was left "broad".

And that's why most people consider the Founders, geniuses.

They made a document that would endure the test of time.

 

[The Infidel]

MR. President John Adams, you don't believe in the Constitution .. you helped to write .. you believe in socialism.

Shut up... the adults are talking!
