re: #64 Mosh

Ask a hospital owner if they have to constantly examine if they need more penicillin, zoloft, wheelchairs, or any kind of specialist. A hospital owner has to examine if he needs more or less of every kind of drug and doctor in his hospital. If the patients are deprived of it or if more is needed he’ll get more.

What on earth does this have to do with anything we were talking about?

The Air Force is an implied power, health care is not.

Sez you. Why do you think that you can blithely say that there are implied powers in the constitution, but dismiss General Welfare? Hell, health care is pretty much a national security issue as well.

No one in their right mind would advocate giving the Louisiana Purchase back to the French.

And the constitutional authority for it was..?
