Constitutional Fundamentals 2

The Constitution seems to be a mystery for everyone. It is actually a very simple document that has been made a mystery by those that want to confuse the governed. Most of the constitution concerns itself with administration of government itself. All the "duties" of this government are spelled out explicitly in Article I section 8. Here they are, and nothing more:



{There is no mystery here. There is nothing complicated here. When this was written, the men toying with this idea knew well that a "government" of any kind is the most dangerous thing to man kind that has ever existed here on young planet Earth. A Constitution is written for one purpose, and that is to LIMIT the power of a government--period! Iron workers have a nick name for a twenty pound sledge hammer. They call it a Blue Monday. This is your Blue Monday right here, Use it on government. Ask them where they get the audacity to provide health care, or any thing else we didn't specifically specify for them, as a duty, to perform.}





Section 8. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

To borrow money on the credit of the United States;

Hey John,

What part of the Constitution limits/defines what our government can spend our tax dollars on? I'm looking, but I can't find anything. I'm sure it's there though and I want to point it out to someone.

Thanks
