Evidently you just don’t know how to respond to the facts, the feds have areas of control that involve federal laws and policies also, such as in the military, employment and immigration.
It is this fact that makes me oppose you big government “conservatives”.
We could announce our support for reducing the federal government size and cost by 95% but if we want controls on immigration, drugs, abortion and gay marriage we are “big government” socialists.
Meanwhile real socialists who give way on drugs receive the whole-hearted support from libertarians. You can see the Democrat-libertarian coalition being shown off in Colorado, Washington State and others.
“Brave New World” is the model.
