266 – History of Government Overreach
If there are two actions that can best describe the first months of the Biden administration, they would be executive orders and spending. I’ve talked about executive orders in the past, so today I want to delve into spending. Specifically the idea that Washington, D.C. can spend money on anything Congress can appropriate. Federal spending on anything they find popular is not a 21st century phenomenon, it’s not even a 20th century one. James Madison dealt with Congress’ spending habits all the way back in 1817.

A case recently argued before the Supreme Court asks the question, what is a taking under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution? This is not simply a case of eminent domain, but the power of the state to take control of private property. And since this case comes out of California, you shouldn’t be surprised that it is a tangled mess that brought it to the Supreme Court. But the opinion in this case will impact more than just California residents, it could be used as justification for both state and federal governments to deprive you of your property rights and give them to a favored voting block.
