Under what clause in the United States Constitution is permission given to the Federal government to force a company or corporation to spend ANY money?
Un-freaking-believable.
The same part that says they can fine you if you don’t buy a certain product from a private company. The commerce clause says they can pretty much do anything they want to, or at least their interpretation of it says they can. If they can fine you for not having health insurance, they can order you to do anything they want you to. Gas prices are too high? You must buy a Chevy Leaf. Newspapers are dying? You must buy a daily paper every day. Next they’ll say that we aren’t allowed to profit from our jobs at all. I was on DU last night and someone wanted to make interest on loans illegal. At least they’re consistant.
