Are you actually contending that the government shouldn't pay for anything that isn't mentioned in the Constitution?

Are you actually contending that the government should!? Where then do you draw the line? There are specific scopes within which the government must operate. You lamely mentioned the Internet. The Internet was developed as a defense against having our communications wiped out in a nuclear attack. The redundant connections allowed communications to continue even if several cities were annihilated. It was developed within the realm of defense. All I asked of you was to at least attempt to show some sort of Constitutional authorization for foreign disaster aid. Instead I get called a fool and told that the government routinely operates outside of Constitutional limitations and that I should just accept that reality and put a little ice on it. What you fail to realize that anything the government does outside of the powers and authority delegated to it by the people is usurpation and tyranny. I guess a little tyranny is perfectly OK with you. Some have less tolerance for such things no matter what emotion-driven wrapper that you put around it.

I am contending that the DO.

And I am once again stating two things: 1) You don't live in the real world, and 2) you would rather have the issue than face the truth.
