Definitely yes on the issue of education. Education is a local community issue and the feds have no business in the education of America's children. On the issue of the environment, I'm not completely sure. I'm no expert on environmental issues, but I believe certain things the EPA and Energy Department undertake, concerning the rights of individual American's, is unconstitutional. Much of that responsibility can be handled at the state level.
My biggest concerns are the excessive taxation placed on the American people and the subsequent funding of federal programs with the peoples money. I also believe if the government cut out waste, fraud and abuse, it could probably cut 10%-20% right off the top of the federal budget. That would be a good start to reducing the size and scope of the bloated federal bureaucracy.
Any other specific questions?
None for now.
I agree wholeheartedly with your post.
