In June 1788, the ninth state ratified the Constitution, which gave Congress the power “To establish Post Offices and post Roads” in Article I, Section 8.

And yet you all want to do away with the United States Postal Service, right? (suggest you rent the movie "The Postman&quot


What about science?

To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;

Should we do away with scientific research? Do we all agree on basics like evolution, gravity, climate change?

Shouldn't our government be investing heavily in all areas of science, especially that one area where the PENTAGON says is our greatest national threat?

The U.S. Department of Defense released a new report this week that says climate change poses an "immediate risk to national security." The so-called road map is designed to help the military navigate and prepare for increasing global temperatures, changing rain patterns and rising sea levels.

1. That's no fair. You're bringing verifiable facts into the argument. They can't deal with that.

2. Your second citation is about establishing the US Patent Office, not funding research.

just sayin'

3. One can easily conclude promoting science was a priority...

4. Yes, and the means of promoting science was

by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.

5. And when you add the "general welfare" statement/clause you conclude that our government is

meant to provide funding for science

6. If you're going to cobble together excerpts and phrases you can justify the MIC.

7. We sure as hell better be able to justify science funding otherwise climate change

will wipe our asses out, for sure.

probably will anyway

8. OK. But your citation was still about the Patent Office. That's all it was about.
