Kennedy Milk Money

"Washington spent $126 million in 2009 to enhance the Kennedy family legacy in Massachusetts. Additionally, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., diverted $20 million from the 2010 defense budget to subsidize a new Edward M. Kennedy Institute."  source

 The Kennedy legacy is costing us defense funds?  I am not dissing the Kennedy's.  Many of them are and were God fearing people who wanted to do something wonderful for our country.  They have suffered much tragedy.

In this economy, however, how can we justify spending that amount of money of any memorial - especially when they could raise the funds privately without blinking an eye!  Sorry, this is definitely wasted spending.

And who does John Kerry think he is diverting our ability to protect us?  I will be doing a series on the constitution after this series; I hope he tunes in.

Can you tell me where this apppears in the Consitution?:

"provide for the common defense"

Here's a hint - Start at the beginning.
