[quote=Anonymous]As much as I would love for the SCOTUS to rule social security to be unconstitutional - and thus require congress to actually pass a constitutional amendment that grants the government this power, this case is rather well settled. It's indisputable that the federal government has broad powers to tax and does not have to earmark that money for a specific purpose. It's also indisputable that the federal government has broad powers to spend funds for the general welfare. So even though there is no constitutional power for the federal government to implement a program like social security as a single entity, if you divide it up into two parts, it's perfectly permissible.
