Ukraine….what’s our endgame here

[noble cane]

The federal government has no constitutional mandate for disaster recovery. It does have a constitutional mandate for national defense, and the war in Ukraine has broad reaching implications related to our defense.

Wow.. suddenly Aston is a strict Constitutionslist..

Depends on what you mean by strict? I believe in the ideals and the intent of the constitution.

I’m not saying that we shouldn’t have the feds provided disaster relief as I believe in the benefits of broad federalism, but I also don’t think that those extra, inferred powers only referred to as “promoting the general welfare” should supersede enumerated responsibilities in terms of priority.

So glad you were able to backtrack on your "mandated powers"
