"Do you understand now why such actions by Congress are constitutional?"

The Federal government should not be in a position to hand out funds for anything to the states. By doing so they overstep the original intent of the constitution which was for the Federal government to provide for defense and foreign policy and little else.

I realize that federal politicians have manipulated the constitution adding amendments giving themselves more and more power, so that technically what they are doing is constitutional, but only a lawyer would argue that that makes what they are doing right. Federal politicians are traitors to the concepts of freedom and self determination upon which this country was founded.

Err, actually, the federal government was to "establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity".

You missed a few purposes in there.
