Since going off the gold standard in 1971, our money is based on happy thoughts and pixie dust. The nationdebt has consequently ballooned to the point it can never be paid off, but the system in place necessitates it never be fixed since trying to do so will make it crash. Our US economy is a ponzi scheme in every sense of the term. So when politicians try 'cutting back' it isn't out of any realistic plan of paying off the debt but a political maneuver to attack opposition and win votes from supporters.
The debt can't be paid off. But if we don't raise the limit every year everything collapses around the world like it almost did in 2008. If our lenders quit lending to us everything collapses including their economies. So the national debt goes up inifinitely regardless of what we do. If we did anything to pay it off we'd crash the global economy.
Cutting back programs doesn't effect the debt in any significant way, it's just political attack on your opponents. If you're worrying about this sort of thing you're entirely ignorant of how the US and global economy actually works. Things are so off the charts bad, worrying about Food Stamps, Medicare, and the like is like worrying about about drowning in "Butch Casidy and the Sundance Kid" when they're peering over the cliff about the jump. It's not the drowning idiot, it's the fall that's gonna kill ya.
Is the government in violation of Art 1 section 10?
No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

NO, they are not. Because realize that that section of the COTUS is giving a specific power to the federal government, and denying that power to the states.
For example, CA can not print up there own legal tender.They do not have the authority to do so, nor any other state of course.
Hell - i didn't know there there were any people like that getting food stamps. These deadbeats are guaranteed democrat voters.
Number of Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents on Food Stamps Doubles
17 Jan 2014, 6:41 AM PDT 183
The number of Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWDs) receiving food stamps zoomed from 1.7 million to 3.9 million between Fiscal Year 2007 and Fiscal Year 2010. In that same period, food stamp recipients in total grew from 26 million to nearly 40 million.
One reason for the catastrophic growth in the number of ABAWDs is Barack Obamas 2009 stimulus bill, which opened the door for states to waive the work provision required of ABAWDs. That work provision mandated that to continue receiving food stamps, after three months of being unemployed ABAWDs must work or perform some type of work activity 20 hours per week.
Good. Another thread about how Americans are shiftless and lazy. Taking from taxpayers while contributing nothing. This one started and maintained by an admitted racist.....and joined by an admitted tax evader and a host of deep thinkers. Each of whom suggest that people who are generationally poor.......vote.
Keep this up, nutters. Write your reps daily. Make sure you let the GOP brass know how you feel. Electoral victory is within teach if you can just get them to voice your concerns.
