"I missed your whole point maybe in my post. Sorry. I see where you're coming from. Either the States abide by all the Fed rules or they don't. But that would kind of make a moot point of powers reserved for the States wouldn't it?

Could you expand a bit on that please? I'm listening.

R.W. Reactionairy is right. (And please ignore post 48: It was in response to planeKT; not asking Mod to delete my error in posting.)
Back to it: If the states continues to ask for pork (for their states) and the feds supply said monies, well, in sum -- There's no such thing as a free lunch: There are strings attached.
