  18. You might want to read the United States Constitution someday: The
  19. federal government a few legitimate powers (for the most part
  20. listed in Article One, Section Eight). Technically, they are not
  21. allowed to do anything else (on the assumption that we can't trust
  22. them with any more powers than we absolutely have to. Reasonable
  23. given Congress' behavior recently...) If you bother to look, military
  24. spending _is_ a legitimate power, but for the most part "civil aid"
  25. and education aren't on the list.
