I’m a big fan of States Rights and their sovereignty as it was outlined in our constitution.
Unfortunately, many states are addicted to the money from the Feds and will adhere to the Fed’s insane rules and regulations in order to continue getting those funds.
Many complain about the “Unfunded Mandates” but IMO, it’s the “Funded Mandates” that are killing our Republic.
The States need to learn to “Just say NO”.
For all intents and purposes Federal Tax dollars are mostly passed through the Fed’s bureaucracy to be re-distributed to each State with “Strings” attached for their compliance.
Compliance to rules and regulations that are not set forth by Congress, but by an endless number of Government Bureaucrats that think they are doing what is best for any number of aggrieved, disadvantaged, misunderstood groups whether real or imagined.
See my post # 81.
I'm Sorry , it's just how I'm programmed. :-)

Well, do they recommend leaving the corn on the cob or having a smoothie?
Ewwww...
Patriots need to wake up low-information lawmakers of the constitutionally powerful states to the idea that most federal funding for domestic purposes that is beyond the scope of the US Mail Service (1.8.7) is unconstitutional imo.
In other words, most so-caled federal domestic funding is actually state revenues that should never have left the states.
The states need the eliminate the unconstitutional middleman, the corrupt federal government, with respect to managing state revenues.
