Thank you!
Would someone please tell me where in the Constitution the President (or anyone in the government) is authorized to gamble with (invest) funds from the Treasury? I've examined the Constitution forwards and backwards several times and I can't find it.

It could also explain why Liberals, like children, blame others for the failure of their actions to produce the desired results and why they can lie so easily.

Continued... I submit that a person can impede, delay, or possibly prevent that transition in the way they think. Consider a person who has been pampered and taken care of all their lives, doing anything they want without any control or conquences for their actions. Then they see the time coming when they will have to take care of themselves, make their own decisions, and suffer the conquences of bad decisions they make. That can be very frightening, and fear is a powerful force. Look at the way suicides among teens has increased dramatically in recent years. Perhaps fear can enable a person to refuse to learn how to think, literally. That would explain how Liberals can consider only intentions to be important, not results. (continued)

Everyone should know that if a Liberal researcher finds something significant they will get it backwards. I watched an HBO documentary quite some time ago that was about the problems with interdiction with drug and alcohol addiction in early teens. In it the research doctor talked about extensive growth and "interconnection" of new cells in the frontal lobes of the brain that occurs between the ages of 15 and 25. He said that period of development was when the brain transitioned from instinctive, emotional, self-centered responses to stimuli to objective observation, logical analysis, and reasoned concious responses. The doctor said that the use of drugs or alcohol during that time affects the development of the brain. (Continued)

1.) Identifying job applicants who are not authorized to work in the U.S. is NOT the purpose of E-Verify as Ms. Chaveze asserts. The purpose of E-Verify is to verify that job applicants are authorized to work in the U.S. 2.) You HIRE, then you E-Verify. If E-Verify fails to verify the job applicant you CAN NOT fire the new hire until the authorization issue is resolved by other means. 3.) Perhaps Ms. Chavez should register with E-Verify as an employer or a representative to process E-Verify requests for other businesses so that she would know what she is talking about and not raising non-issues as problems.

We also paid Mexico the $18 Million we offered for the territories before the war.

i hate having to reply to my own post, but TH would not let me add "that is from the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007, the House of Representatives version, and the exact same text was included in the Senate version of the bill." So, according to both houses of Congress, the several States of the United States have "the inherit authority" to enforce immigration laws. Someone needs to tell Holder that.
