Any society that would give up a little liberty for a little security deserves neither and will lose both.

Powers of Congress

The US Constitution is very clear as to how Congre$$ is empowered. I read the US Constitution 3 or 4 times a week to find the answers to my miserable existence. I finally found what I was not looking for. What I was not looking for is nowhere in the Constitution.

If you will note Article One sections eight and nine titled Powers of Congress and Limits of Congress detail what empowers Congress in the legislative branch. I have read it forwards and backwards from top to bottom and amazed at what you will not find. Congress is not empowered to grant, gift, subsidize, or loan money. It seems our founder's provided the Congress to be landlords but not bankers. Nor can they empower through legislation powers not provided to them in the Constitution. What I'm saying here is; if Congress never had the power they cannot grant it to another enity. I'm talking about the Federal Reserve especially.
We can have a Federal Reserve but they can't loan money. They can sell money in trade for gold or silver. They cannot gift or loan the peoples wealth!
Congress is a one way street that can lay and collect taxes and spend the money as they see fit. They appear unlimited as to what they may purchase. Congress is not empowered to loan or gift wealth. Nor can they accept wealth or grant Nobility in office. Congress can buy mercernaries or privateers as they deem useful. They can't loan or grant, gift money to GM or GE. They cannot offer tax deductions or loopholes unless all are available to everyone. Tax exemptions are a gift by default. Meaning if some do not qualify all are ineligble. This pretty much destroys the US Tax Code. Kinda makes you fell good all over don't it!!

If the Supreme Courts agree with my analyses it will change life in America as we know it today. No more bailouts or loans to Auto Czars or Bankers. No more free wheel chairs from the Feds. They can buy all the wheel chairs they want but, cannot give any away. They can provide wheel chairs as a service to the citizens but cannot gift them as entitlements The wheel chairs remain the property of the Government. We can have Social Security but government cannot run it. Congress are not Bankers and never had the Power they abuse!!!!
