This is from my former posting.
“However, our citizens keep voting into office representatives and senators who legislate powers to the government that you and I don’t see enumerated in the Constitution. The regulation of food and drugs (the result of public demand for protection from unscrupulous manufacturers), is an example of a government office that shouldn’t exist but does BECAUSE the public demanded it exist to protect general welfare.”
Maybe you have me mixed up with someone else, but I NEVER said the Constitution gives the fed authority over food and drugs.
Apparently I was really late to this party and was responding to statements made before clarification was offered...please ignore...
