Yet none of you were sick of it when Reagan and Bush 2 were in the White House. Not even when Bush was conducting two wars off of the books. Engaging in wars, then cutting taxes? And then you wonder where the deficit came from? Why weren't you front and center insisting on stopping the wars, or raising the taxes?
President Obama entered office with the worst economic debacle since the First Great Republican Depression in progress. The fact that we are getting out of that without a total economic meltdown is testimony to the policies that the President has put into place. That it was going to cost money, and lead to a larger national debt was a given, as did the last really big economic turndown. The recovery is slow, but better than the nations that tried the austerity route that the GOP was recommending.
Navy Vet, so what you are saying is that since there were no airplanes when the Constitution was written, the government has no right to have flight controlers directing air traffic. That since most of the industrial chemicals that we use today did not exist at the time of the writing of the Constitution, laws concerning those chemicals have no right to exist. I believe the 'Common Welfare' clause covers all of the above, and more.
