I'm curious, what things aren't in the constitution that we have now that should be defunded or killed all together?

Ooooo...He wants a list.
The Departments of Energy, Commerce, Labor, Education, a central bank, HHS, HUD, EPA, FHA, BLM, TVA, FDA, DEA, ATF, Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, farm subsidies, CPB/NPR/PBS/, EEOC, ONDCP, Ad Council, NRC....
Need more, or is that a good enough start for you?
James Madison...y'know the principal author of the Constitution...disagrees.Oddball, you won't be happy until the federal government ceases to exist. You think that everything the federal government does has to be explicitly listed in the constitution? Well, that's not how it works. That's not the system of government that our constitution set out for us. It's clear that you don't like our country or our government, and you want something completely different. So why don't you move somewhere else?
"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State."

I can't find the words "supercarrier", "stealth bomber" or "attack drone" in the Constitution either. Hmmmmmmm
To raise and support Armies..
To provide and maintain a Navy;
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
To...exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;
You also have to understand that know-it-all liberoidal douchebags like carby are way smarter than the guys who founded the nation.Oddball, you won't be happy until the federal government ceases to exist.

You have to understand Libertarians. They're guys who play Fantasy Politics, essentially, kind of like Rotisserie baseball, or fantasy football, whatever....
They have a pretend party, with a pretend platform, and pretend candidates that they pretend to enter in elections.
And then they have a beer.
I'll be happy when the federal government does what is required of it by the Constitution and nothing else.Oddball, you won't be happy until the federal government ceases to exist.
YesYou think that everything the federal government does has to be explicitly listed in the constitution?
True, but that's how it was designed to work.Well, that's not how it works.
It is precicely the system the Constitution set out. Have you ever read the US Constitution?That's not the system of government that our constitution set out for us.
It's pretty clear that he and I do like the country as it was intended. Yes. We want something different from what we have now. We want the power of the federal government limited to what was enumerated in the Founding Document. Perhaps you should leave if you don't favor a Constitutional government.It's clear that you don't like our country or our government, and you want something completely different. So why don't you move somewhere else?

God, not that smelly old red herring again.
But you can find, in Article 1, Section 8...
To raise and support Armies..
To provide and maintain a Navy;
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
To...exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;
I think maybe you need to go back and re-read Article I, Sections 8 & 9 and the Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution. Somehow I think you missed a lot of what's in there.
A missile silo isn't an arsenal in what way?Which part of that covers our Nuclear weapons?

There's nothing there that says that a question or issue or act must be explicitly described in the constitution for the federal government to be able to do it. It's not necessary for the constitution to give explicit authorization to create a Department of Education, in order for the federal government to be allowed to do it. This is why all this BS from so many extremist conservatives is exactly that. All this stuff that is supposedly unconstitutional, yet is regularly held up by the courts as being constitutional. Oh yeah, that's right, I forgot. We explain that away as judicial activism. It's all a grand conspiracy to destroy the constitution! Cue the Freemasons!
