“If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one, subject to particular exceptions.

It is to be remarked that the phrase out of which this doctrine is elaborated is copied from the old Articles of Confederation, where it was always understood as nothing more than a general caption to the specified powers, and it is a fact that it was preferred in the new instrument for that very reason, as less liable than any other to misconstruction.”
Remaining always most affectionately yours”
January 21, 1792

“…with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people? Still one thing more, fellow-citizens—a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities.”

Thomas Jefferson First Inaugural Address Washington, D.C. Wednesday, March 4, 1801

When government does it, it sends you the bill. And when government does it for 40 years, the bill comes in two ways: higher taxes and inflation.

Congress, you underestimated the Will of the American People in 2010, and we’re not finished yet. Not by a long shot. Is it still okay to say “long shot”?
