I'm talking to the trees.Article 1, Section 8, "enumerates" the twelve (only 12) duties of the once-federal government. None of those "duties" includes health "care," retirement, education, mortgages, student loans, bail-outs, subsidies....When James Madison penned the words, "general welfare," he meant the general welfare to apply only to those twelve "enumerated" duties and, to be certain that future generations would understand his meaning, he authored the Tenth Amendment.Restrict this government, cum Congress, to spending on those twelve "enumerated" duties, and that government would immediately become "limited."An attendant benefit would be that Congress would remain in session only as long as it took for them to fund those twelve "enumerated" duties. From lack of occupation, they would adjourn, go home and leave We, the People, alone.The Texas Legislature convenes every other year for 90 days. Texas leads the Nation in "creating and saving jobs."
