Despite Soaring National Debt, Congress Goes on Spending Spree. May 26, 2010.

Article 1, The Legaslative Branch, Section 8, Clause 2
"The Congress shall have power to borrow money on the credit of the United States"

        Despite the fact that the United States is $13 trillion in debt, Congress plans pass $300 million more before Memorial Day.
       This demonstrates Article 1, Section 8, Clause 2 because it shows the Congress borrowing money on the credit of the United States.
       Personally, I think this is a delicate issue. Fox news calls it a "spending spree" but of course the country needs to spend money in order to function. If i were apart of politics in any kind of way, I would have no idea on what to do when it came to spending money, considering that the US is in debt, and in a recession.
