Best one. Couldn't stop laughing.

"If any man's money can be taken from him by a so-called government, without his consent, all his other rights are taken with it; for with his money the government can and will hire soldiers to stand over him and compel him to submit to its arbitrary will, and will kill him if he resists."

Id prefer that I just be billed for things I use and not have someone put a gun to my head and make me pay for things that I have no compulsion to need, use or donate funding towards.

Indeed. In fact the only thing I saw on either list that is Constitutionally mandated was listed in the "Discretionary" list.

....and THIS is our problem. Just ONCE...Id like to see Congress look at a program and say..."This is not our problem." ....just ONCE. The problem is...government is incentivized to expand. The more we spend and employ middle class bureaucrats to distribute that money?...the better. It is simply job security. Why is it that EVERY governmental department spend EVERY dollar they are budgeted?..EVERY year. They know that if they reduce that budget they put their jobs in jeopardy.

Last week I took the family on a vacation to Hoover Dam. Here was a governmental project that brings trillions in value to the good old US of A. I tried to research the economic value of it to post on here but can't come up with a hard number. It's value has to be in the trillions and it continues to pay for itself year after year after year. We couldn't get a Hoover Dam built today with the tax is theft crowd. What the Hoover Dam was to the 20th century Nuclear Fusion could be the 21st century equivalent. I propose a Manhattan Project for nuclear fusion. China past a major milestone in Febuary in this arena. They actually ran a fusion reactor for over a 103 seconds. We pass that milestone and let Uncle Sam provide us electricity and let the revenue pay for our social programs. That is a way forward out of this mess. That is my proposal.
