@Suzianne saidYou writing this to me? i am totally in favor of the words you have written.
The main functions of government are laid out in the preamble to the Constitution.
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitut ...[text shortened]... ople, by the people, for the people".
If you don't like it, I would suggest you move to Russia.
You must have an unstated reason, for linking this, thus leaving your post 'unclosed'.
The word welfare is in there somewhere, maybe you could expound on that pesky word? A most misunderstood word.
And 'domestic tranquility??? and 'Common defense'?? You fellers violate those provisions 24/7.
@AverageJoe1 saidTry "well-being".

And my reason for writing this is obvious. These things are what government is about, not whatever you think it should be about.
@spruce112358 saidAnything else?? Tell us what your dream would be, maybe, like, start with getting all of our loans paid off?
Healthcare will become a public utility like electric or water. 😆
After Healthcare....then what ..... Shav is pushing free housing. But, my house was not free.
@AverageJoe1 saidWrong again, Bozo!

Under Trump, the country is markedly less tranquil and we are in no way able to defend each other, which is what 'common defense' means. You people are failing this nation.
@Suzianne saidI get what you are saying. That govt is responsible for everyone's well-being. Having housing would fall into that category. Do I follow up to now?
Try "well-being".

@AverageJoe1 saidThat doesn't mean we cannot do better moving forward.

With your self-serving pals in power, we can't. More and more people are coming to this same conclusion. Wait for the mid-terms.
@Suzianne saidYes, we are way less tranquil. And we are not able to defend ourselves for what is going on.
Wrong again, Bozo!

But why do you say 'under Trump'? He has only been at it for 5 months. Before that,.....oh, never mind. And the open border...oh never mind.
@Suzianne saidThe Republic of Ireland also has a significant improvement on the U.S. Constitution. In Ireland, a proposed law can be submitted to the high court, prior to ratification, and the court can render a verdict, whether it would be constitutional or not. If not, then it cannot even be ratified. This prevents bad laws from coming into effect.
Some US states are more accepting of this than others. Some other states legislatures take a dim view of this, saying they are the lawmakers, the public should respect that. There are referendums and voter initiatives, but generally the mechanism for this is fairly weak and subject to how the state legislature supports it, if at all.
This is the basic problem with state ...[text shortened]... citizen does not mean you will be heard and respected. It often depends on what state you live in.
Whereas, in America, one has to wait for a victim (group) to be identified in order to bring a suit before the courts and try to get a bad law dis-enacted; a huge lot of damage can be done, before that happens.
@AverageJoe1 saidAnd the country, as a country, was in much better shape.
Yes, we are way less tranquil. And we are not able to defend ourselves for what is going on.

We are no longer respected in the world and too many Americans have no respect for each other. All because of the Pretender.
@AverageJoe1 saidWe'll confiscate 2 or 3 of your houses that you keep empty and put people in them. 😆

@AverageJoe1 saidAll student loans will be written off. The lenders will take a haircut. 😆

@moonbus saidDowner. There is prob even another way. We need to figure out what it would be, and not let activist groups bother hell out of the judicial process. Somebody, I didn’t know them, stormed the home of a SCOTUS justice. Really. I’m not kidding. Does that happen there?

@spruce112358 saidCute, Spruce. Sue, would you tell this Marxist that it is not allowed in the Constitution?!?!?!?!

An example of vacuous posts by screaming liberals. The post says nothing.
Spruce, you say nothing. Except, of course, that your way is to take from those who have, and give ‘it’ to the have nots.
MARX.
