The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States

Unless you are rich in which case you will be taxed more on income taxes.

To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;

Unless credit is shot, in which case just print more money

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;

Forget that noise. Regulate domestic companies and let the foreign ones do whatever they want.

To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization,

Unless people are coming to work in "jobs American's won't do"

and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States

Unless it's GM or Chrysler then the uniform bankruptcy laws don't apply

To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;

Nah just print it non-stop with no caring about it's value in the future.

To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;

And punish those that make their own currency based on the gold and silver standard.

To establish Post Offices and post Roads;

And do it so poorly that private companies do much better

To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;

Unless of course those discoveries will put a damper on tax revenues, in which case make a law against it, or buy out the product and make it go away.

To constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court;

Except for Islamic Muslim fundamentalist terrorists. Just release them onto the streets.

To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations;

Unless commited by Muslims, in which case it's a hate crime to even think about prosecuting them. To declare War,

But only for as long as it's politically expeedient. Doesn't matter if we are winning.

grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;

If the terrorists blow up enough stuff we'll just give it to them

To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;

And those Armies will be called "the militia" even though the Militia is understood to be all able bodied men and (now) women.

To provide and maintain a Navy; To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;

Rules of engagment? Don't. Just watch while Muslim Samoli pirates take over ships.

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasion

Unless being invaded by illegal alien undocumented workers

I could go on but getting depressed and pissed
