Yet, it’s Received Wisdom from Big Medicine that it’s obligatory.

“want to reduce “insurance” premiums.

Do you?

Not at the cost of total subjugation.

“Absolute nonsense”

As the article notes, there are skeptics and the advocates only believe “too much” (>4 times/week) red meat consumption may be problematic.

“the body is able to vigorously regulate its iron uptake”

One can’t say the same for sugar.

“Food stamps were basically an alternative or parallel currency.”

In West Baltimore diabetic test strips are sought out, but the majority are undoubtedly used as intended.

Criminals are getting away with crimes in Baltimore, but the city still maintains a police department.

Policing is never 100% effective.

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and *among the several States*, and with the Indian Tribes.
>
“To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and” domestically “and with the Indian Tribes.”
>
“To regulate Commerce” having a domestic connection.

The verbiage is like the militia clause of Amendment II - meaningless words to allow opponents to concede gracefully.

Most of the Founding Fathers probably only wanted Congress to have the power to regulate commercial disputes between states, but the proponents of a strong federal government got the language they wanted.

Republican politicians run campaigns based on repealing excessive law, but once in power they don’t let go of governmental power.
