The direct words within the constitution
Again... what I ask is simple.. please point out the specific power granted by the states through the constitution that gives the fed the authority to create, run, and administer something such as SS....
I don't care whether or not such a passage exists. I'm not a constitutional scholar. What I do know is this: SS, Medicare and Medicaid are the law of the land, and have been for decades. They have survived congressional challenges as well as SC challenges. You're not going to budge from your entrenched ideological position (as wrong as it is), and I'm not going to budge from the fact that these laws were deemed constitutional long ago. I'm done with this nonsense. Good luck convincing the SC to overturn established law. Let me know how it goes
You don't care because you want the benefit of the power... I understand that
But do you not understand that the states grant the power to the fed via the constitution... and that unless amended, the constitution limits the powers of the fed SPECIFICALLY... and that, by your admission, no passage exists within the constitution granting said power to the fed.... the position that is WRONG, is the one that has nothing to back it up...
As stated... whether the SC or congress or the prez or whomever, grabs power without constitutional authority is irrelevant.. it is still against the powers granted within the constitution... I know libs such as yourself hate that wrong is wrong... but it is still wrong, even when someone gets away with it
