Sorry but the exercise of unconstituted federal power is to avoided at all costs.The federal government is not a charity nor was it constituted to become a forced charity, taking the property of one citizen to be expended on another...or a group of anothers.
The federal power is confined to those enumerated in the Constitution and no other powers whatsoever. Suggest you read the 10th Amendment to the Constitution...and then, get back to me.
In the meantime, you can read what the founders...those who both wrote and helped ratify the US Constitution had to say about it.
*"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which grant[s] a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents... The government of the United States is a definite government, confined to specified objects. It is not like state governments, whose powers are more general. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government." - James Madison, in a speech before the U.S. House of Representatives, 10 January 1794
*"Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated [in Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution]." - Thomas Jefferson
*"Our tenet ever was that Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but were to those specifically enumerated; and that, as it was never meant they should raise money for purposes which the enumeration did not place under their action; consequently, that the specification of powers is a limitation of the purposes for which they may raise money." - Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to Albert Gallatin, 16 June 1817
*"If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may appoint teachers in every State, county and parish and pay them out of the public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may assume the provision of the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post-roads; in short, every thing, from the highest object of state legislation down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress... Were the power of Congress to be established in the latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature of the limited Government established by the people of America." - James Madison, 1789
*"Money cannot be applied to the General Welfare, otherwise than by an application of it to some particular measure conducive to the General Welfare. Whenever, therefore, money has been raised by the general Authority, and is to be applied to a particular measure, a question arises whether the particular measure be within the enumerated authorities vested in Congress. If it be, the money requisite for it may be applied to it; if it be not, no such application can be made." - James Madison, in "Report of 1800"
*"I see, as you do, and with the deepest affliction, the rapid strides with which the federal branch of our government is advancing towards the usurpations of all the rights reserved to the States, and the consolidation in itself of all powers, foreign and domestic; and that too, by constructions which, if legitimate, leave no limits to their power... Under the power to regulate commerce, they assume indefinitely that also over agriculture and manufactures, and call it regulation to take the earnings of one of these branches of industry, and... put them into the pockets of the other... Under the authority to establish post roads, they claim that of cutting down mountains for the construction of roads, of digging canals, and aided by a little sophistry on the words 'general welfare', a right to do, not only the acts to effect that, which are specifically enumerated and permitted, but whatsoever they shall think, or pretend, will be for the general welfare." - Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to William B. Giles, 26 December 1825
*"We must confine ourselves to the powers described in the Constitution, and the moment we pass it, we take an arbitrary stride towards a despotic Government." - James Jackson, in "Annals of the 1st Congress"
*"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, [such] as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce... The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people." - James Madison, in "Federalist Paper Number 45", 1788
It is clear that the so called Constitutional scholar...Barack Hussein O'Bomber would have been laughed out the House of Representative, laughed out of the Senate of the United States and laughed out of the White House...had he advanced his radical Marxist Socialist agenda to the Founders of the United States. Michelle O'Bomber would have fared no better advancing her Marxist Socialist "healthy meals" agenda to the Founders.
No matter how good or utilitarian you may believe limiting the public school menus to so called "healthy food" to be or how compassionate, good and necessary you may believe the "School Lunch Program" to be...to feed school children 3 meals a day...there is no authority granted to the federal government to do any of it...or pay for any of it. It has been and remains today the jurisdiction of the states as does the public education of those same children.
Now, if there's anyone here who would suggest to me to take Barack Hussein O'Bomber's word for it...OR Michelle O'Bomber's word for it...over the writers, framers and founders of the United States Constitution...well, don't tempt to tell you where you can put that suggestion.
