[at-l] Bush Outsources Forestry Jobs

[camojack at comcast.net (camojack@comcast.net)]

Doesn't providing jobs to the private sector promote the general welfare?
(As opposed to more gubmint "deadwood")

You tell me; if engaging hostile forces in Iraq occupies the enemy to the extent that we're not engaging them on American soil, or having them fly airplanes into buildings...DOES that provide for the common defense?!

I tend to think that it DOES...

OK fine...  

So IS "insuring domestic tranquility... promoting the general welfare, and securing the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity".  It says nothing about outsourcing long held traditions to the lowest or best connected bidder....

By the way, does providing common defense also mean Iraq?

Actually, providing for the common defense IS in the Constitution:
  
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
