You don’t understand what I said.
The U.S.Constitution stipulates that the government is responsible for national defense. That Constitutional requirement takes precedence over everything else.
Show me where, in the Constitution, it says the government must pay out unemployment benefits? The only reason Representatives and Senators vote for that crap is to get votes.
You are missing the fact that one branch cannot Constitutionally ignore a law. If the law states that the Treasury must give 20 bucks to Wal-Mart for ice cream The President can't decide not to pay it. Its the law. IF he did so or ordered someone to do so he is assuming Extra-constitutional authority.
