      I do believe there are limits in how the money shifts can be performed, but I'm unsure of exactly what those restrictions are.

      Either way, it's a horrible idea and no side should be excited by it or the possible downstream ramifications.

        Sure. But that's partly my point. If a President wants to find $4-5 billion, no big deal. He can find it easily. But the wish list that lefties are now ejaculating over that they think they'll get in January 2021 is going to be a slightly bigger shift of funds.
        That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

          Yes. That makes sense. They've been political all along. Their exemption does not seem warranted anymore.

            It is a stupid idea. It shouldn't be done, unless there are real emergencies.

            But declaring national emergencies doesn't install full dictatorial powers on the president like some here and elsewhere seem to suggest, the power to just levy taxes at will and spend whatever amount of money he or she wants.

                Such a pressing emergency, its been going on for two months with nothing being done about it.

                Yeah, that's gonna hold up in court

                  Comes nowhere near the rights ejaculation when Merrick Garland's nomination was ignored. You reap what you ****ing sow.

                    A national emergency for an actual crisis like climate change vs a manufactured "crisis" along the border... what could possibly be the difference?

                      In any event, if he declares a national emergency, Nancy gets to hold a vote in Congress as to whether that emergency continues.

                            ****ing Wow.

                            Do as I say, not as I do. Republicans love hypocrisy. They're married to it. All the time. But, us liberals treat them like the snowflakes they are so they can't vote for us. Oh, boo, hoo.

                              It's ignoring another piece of the Constitution for "I wanna I wanna I wanna!"

                              It's the precedent from “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law" to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                              If that's something that can be ignored for a (self created) emergency what isn't? You give politicians a tool, they'll use it.

                                So are you suggesting that what dumpy is doing is ok, and the things the D's want to do is not?

                                As far as I can see, national health care IS a national emergency- unlike the theoretical people harmed by immigrants, the fact that we don't have national healthcare is clearly leading to more early deaths- our life expectancy has dropped, and is going in the opposite direction to other developed countries.

                                Poverty, for sure, causes premature death. So there's a national emergency. Direct funds there.

                                Climate change kills people- ask people recovering from hurricanes or fires... direct funds there.

                                And guns kill people- more people are killed by guns than immigrants. Direct funds to deal with that.
