I was reading comments to an article about proposed phony cuts to the military (these weren't actual cuts, they were merely propositions to cut from expected increases in future military expenditures).
Someone commented that it is a constitutional MANDATE to provide for the common defense. Well, last I read article 1 section 8, I understood that "The Congress shall have the power to..." do several distinct things. It does not mandate that Congress do anything!
And yes, we need to repeal Obamacare. But why are these people so hung up on Obamacare. Do they forget about how George Bush signed into law the Medicare Part D program, which was the largest expansion of entitlements since Lyndon Johnson?
We need to repeal a multitude of legislation passed over the past 100 years. It's not going to happen is long as Republicans call those who want to cut military spending communists, nor will it happen as long as Democrats call those who want to cut welfare spending racists or fascists.
