Here We Go! More Tax Payer Dollars Redistributed Unconstitutionally!


The Department of Labor is still at it, sending your tax dollars all over the place to pay for things the Constitution doesn’t allow. As always, I’ll give anyone that actually wants to try to argue that any of these expenditures are constitutional a chance to look like an idiot.

All of these are right out of the DoL from their news releases:

U.S. Department of Labor announces $250,000 grant to assist Iowa’s Cedar Valley region in establishing successful economic development strategies
U.S. Labor Department reaches $1 billion paid in Part E benefits under Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act

Anyone want to take a stab at arguing for these things under the Constitution? Anyone?
Your tax dollars at work here folks.
