We want a government of LIMITED and ENUMERATED powers - rather than one of limitless powers unnumbered.
Our Constitution outlines a government of limited and enumerated powers.
Just because something is worth doing doesn’t mean the government should be doing it.
Actually, the Constitution does a very poor job of that, as was noted at the time of ratification. Too bad no one listened.
"[The government under the Constitution] will introduce such an infinite number of laws and ordinances, fines and penalties, courts, and judges, collectors, and excisemen, that when a man can number them, he may enumerate the stars of Heaven." Taken from "Brutus" fifth essay, The New-York Journal of December 13, 1787.
