The government does almost nothing well. And beside that point, government has no RIGHT to do half the things it does. It powers are clearly enumerated in the Constitution, and exceeding those powers — regardless of how attractive the outcome — is not an option we can permit. Doing so is what got us to the obamaphone government we have now!

The Supreme Court has disagreed with your interpretation for awhile now.

See? This is what makes conservatives sound silly. 5 seconds of digging would show you that the "Obamaphone" program's enabling legislation passed under Reagan and that the first "Obamaphone" was issued before Obama was even president.
