Fortunately, that's not the role of the federal government no matter how many people think it is.
THANK YOU Chuang, meams and zappa, we should get Falcon and Shroomy a pacifier and a spit rag, and we also need a dumbed down version of Mother Suess for these guys, just in case they cannot understand the words clearly written on the paper.
Please show me where this is clearly written in the constitution that it is not allowed. I'm going to keep asking until I get an answer.
Edit: I'm NOT agreeing the Government should bail homeowners out. I'm simply asking where in the constitution this would be illegal.

You twisted my words. Please show me where I said a company should pay anyone MORE than what someone is worth.

So what? Free market isn't law nor is it in the constitution.
Did you not imply that it was ok to bailout a homeowner in over his head, because the constitution did not say specifically that you cannot? I simply take the words you speak literally and show you your logic at its end outcome.

I am basing it on several postings by him about several issues, not any one. It is not twisting when I apply sound logic to his statements and take them to their end.
I am still waiting on that single case of military invasion for exploitation.

You would get an "F" in logic.
I'll tell you how. I said if the constitution doesn't forbid something, then it's not unconstitutional. Your conclusion from that was if the constitution doesn't forbid something, then it's not illegal. My statement is correct. Your conclusion is incorrect.

We pay Iraq for oil, just like always, and we get nothing form Afghanistan, we have spent more money rebuilding those countries and providing aid than we will ever get from them. How is paying someone for the goods they have and giving them food, medicine, and monetary aid exploitation? Should we have invaded Iraq, no, we should have killed Hussein in 1990 when we had the chance and Afghanistan was harboring terrorists that attacked us. Do you not remember those planes hitting the World Trade Center. By your logic we also invaded Japan for exploitation.

That's mighty vague. Did you mean to say that if the Constitution does not forbid the federal government to do some particular thing, then the federal government may do it without acting unconstitutionally? Because if that is what you meant to say, you are dead wrong. As wrong as wrong can be.
Or did you mean to say that if the Constitution doesn't forbid American citizens to do some particular thing, then American citizens may do that thing without acting unconstitutionally? Because if that is what you meant to say, then your comment - while technically accurate - is meaningless, since citizens can't act unconstitutionally. They can act illegally, or immorally, but not unconstitutionally. Unconstitutionality is a null concept in the context of the actions of individual citizens.

Is slavery unconstitutional? Yes. Is it stated in the constitution that you cannot own slaves? No.

You think the bailouts are ok, and because they are not specifically denied in the constitution, then it is constitutional. Slavery is not forbidden in the constitution, yet is is unconstitutional. How was my logic wrong? That damn twisting of words, I tell ya, I need to stop that. I wish I could be more like you and change a word like ok, to legal.

Should I call you Alexander Hamilton from now on? If something is not expressly forbidden in the constitution the federal government has no right to assume those powers, if it is not expressly written that the federal government has a right or power then it does not. Saying it is not unconstitutional because it does not directly say so is like saying I can order a steak at McDonalds because the menu does not say I cannot.

Once again - just because something is not unconstitutional doesn't mean I think it's ok. You made that concusion as follows: I asked "Please show me where this is clearly written in the constitution that it is not allowed.". You responded with "if you want to use the reasoning that it does not specifically forbid it then it is ok, then you should be ok with having consentual sex with a twelve year old, since it is not explicitly banned."
You switched my word "allowed" (a synonym for "legal") to "ok".

See above. Although it's not being more like me, it's being you.
