I am still puzzled how Trump is spending tax revenues without the approval of Congress?

It's a question I have been asking a lot. For example, the government of Qatar gave the United States a plane. Why doesn't this go into the general revenue? Why can't we sell it, and reduce the deficit? How about the money being donated to the federal government for the White House ballroom. Shouldn't the president have to go through Congress to get that money appropriated to be used to built it? Intel gave the federal government a huge gift of stock. Why didn't we sell it?==Hiram
Because Trump is an Authoritarian Socialist...
Sometimes I think of political ideology as a circle where the extremes meet. It seems to me to be often the case that extremists at the opposite ends of the political spectrum have more in common with each other than they do with more moderate elements of the political community. Certainly there are many examples of fascists becoming communists and communists becoming fascists. Hitler's fascist party was formally named "National Socialist German Workers' Party" which sounds very socialist to me. Fascism itself is so widely used in such different ways an contexts that it is really incapable of being defined in any dictionary sense, but it still can have meaning. My personal and highly subjective and eminently disputable idea is that Fascism is one way to describe a unification of government with big business. Trump's inauguration and his administration dominated as they are by billionaires and oligarchs strikes me as very fascist.==Hiram
People with strong beliefs seem to want to force them on others

It is often the case when I express my views, people think I am trying to impose my views on them. When I say what I think, people assume I am telling them what they should think. I hope this is never the case. I am not omniscient. I am often wrong. There are are plenty of reasonable opinions I do not hold. And more often than not, it isn't a question of right or wrong, just different priorities or different perspectives.--Hiram
What do you want the government to enforce through laws?
Is this because you believe in them?
Or because they are aligned with the Constitution and pragmatic way to make the USA remain strong and healthy?
I believe in making decisions and implementing, even decisions I might disagree with. I often follow, often routinely, obey laws I d on't like. I believe losing elections means the other party gets to set policy, and I believe winning elections means my party gets to set policy. I believe no matter which party wins elections, the minority party should be respected and should earn respect. I would say in the strongest possible terms, that aligning with the constitution, does not make one strong and healthy. It is perfectly possible under the constitution to enact bad policy. Indeed, I think our constitutional processes, which I support, have failed us. That's our fault, not the fault of the founders.--Hiram
I am watching a series of TV shows on the Bible. The professor talks about how the Bible had a multiplicity of authors, and different points of view. He .talks about how it is written as a reaction to the events. He shows how later writers manipulate the history of events, to solve problems in their own times. And his overall message is that it is all the Bible, and that includes the consistencies and even the contradictions. I think the constitution is like that.--Hiram
I mostly agree, though I have somewhat more faith in the Constitution and Amendments than you appear to. :-)
The constitution is not a policy document. If you were drafting a constitution, would you be an originalist? Would you try to set policy in complex areas for distant future generations? Would you want to tell them how to pay for government? The copy of the constitution I keep by my computer is 32 pages long. Should it be a lot longer?==Hiram
No... It is a framework document that allows some flexibility...
