WASHINGTON — A national infrastructure bank that would entice private investors into road and rail projects could be a major part of the jobs package that President Barack Obama hopes will finally bring relief to the unemployed.”
We are just learning how the Washington Establishment has funnel BILLIONS upon BILLIONS of American taxpayer dollars to foreign banks (http://www.freedomworks.org/blog/jborowski/federal-reserve-documents-reveal-massive-foreign-b) under Congress’ money laundering operations called TARP, and now they are planning another money laundering operation called an “Infrastructure bank”___ a crony capitalism scheme to reward the friends of big government and plunder our national treasury.
Of course, this would be another misappropriation of federal revenue unauthorized by our written Constitution just as the federal Department of Education is through which a record $122 BILLION a year is now laundered and has over 5,000 employees with outrageous salaries and benefits given them with the expectation they will return the favor with campaign contributions and volunteer their time during federal elections to keep the Washington Establishment’s iron fist in tact.
And, keep in mind that the leadership of both political parties work together in this massive plundering of our national treasury. Was this not made crystal clear when both political party leaderships joined hands and passed the unconstitutional No Child Left Behind Act (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Child_Left_Behind_Act)? Is that not our current Speaker of the House in the picture with a big fat grin on his face?
John Boenher needs to point to the provision in our federal Constitution under which Congress has been delegated a power to tax for, spend on and regulate public school systems established under State Constitution. I seem to recall this question of power was addressed in the Federalist Papers:
“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected.
The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.” _______ Federalist No. 45
And to make certain the above words were given force and effect the Ninth and Tenth Amendments were quickly added to our Constitution which state:
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States, respectively, or to the people.
And finally, our very own Supreme Court articulated the limited powers of our federal government:
The government of the United States is of the latter description. The powers of the legislature are defined and limited; and that those limits may not be mistaken or forgotten, the constitution is written. To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing; if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained? The distinction between a government with limited and unlimited powers is abolished, if those limits do not confine the persons on whom they are imposed, and if acts prohibited and acts allowed are of equal obligation. It is a proposition too plain to be contested, that the constitution controls any legislative act repugnant to it; or, that the legislature may alter the constitution by an ordinary act.
Between these alternatives there is no middle ground. The constitution is either a superior, paramount law, unchangeable by ordinary means, or it is on a level with ordinary legislative acts, and like other acts, is alterable when the legislature shall please to alter it.
If the former part of the alternative be true, then a legislative act contrary to the constitution is not law: if the latter part be true, then written constitutions are absurd attempts, on the part of the people, to limit a power in its own nature illimitable.
Certainly all those who have framed written constitutions contemplate them as forming the fundamental and paramount law of the nation, and consequently the theory of every such government must be, that an act of the legislature repugnant to the constitution is void. ____ MARBURY v. MADISON, 5 U.S. 137 (1803)
So tell us Mr. Speaker of the House, under what provision of our Constitution is Congress authorized to tax for, spend on and regulate a public school system established under a State Constitution?

Our federal government personifies a living creature, a predator: it grows, it multiplies, it protects itself, it feeds on those it can defeat, and does everything to expand its powers and flourish, even at the expense of enslaving a nation’s entire population.
