Let's look under hood of Constitution

I could just be missing something in the Constitution that authorizes the federal government to run private businesses or to enter into business on its own. So if anyone knows how the president of the United States got the power to tell the president of General Motors that he was fired please e-mail me.

I am eagerly awaiting the exact provisions in the Constitution that give the federal government the power to dictate business policy to individual corporations. Short of seeing them, I will assume our new busybody government has gone rogue.

Could you tell me, for instance, how it is that Congress can be considering a bill to establish a Green Bank that would be a wholly owned corporation of the United States intended to lend money to projects that promote or develop clean energy or renewable energy?

I missed that provision in the Constitution, too... [snip]

This is one more in a growing list of offenses of the Congress and president against the people of the United States. If it were not that the people have so little power left, you would almost call it a power grab.
