We gave it to them. By our inaction, they take and take and take. Until we say, "STOP!" they'll keep at it.

They are deriving regulatory authority, granted by Congress, by providing for the general welfare via regulating interstate commerce.

"We can only be a strong and secure nation, if we are, as a people, fit and healthy.
The foods, and indeed most of everything else, in these facilities are a product of interstate commerce, and therefore fall under Department purview."

Holder and crew can 'pretty it up' and pad it out to a hundred or so pages of gobbledegook legalese and political double talk, but that is the essence of what their reply would boil down to.

BHO and The People who don’t stop him...they are pushing the limits in just about every facet of life now. The plan is to control every facet of the sheeple’s life.

“Where does the federal government get this authority??”

It was such that if an institution didn’t follow rules set forth, the funding would be withheld. Carrot or Stick.
The wording in the article suggests that merely being an institution eligible for funding now requires compliance. Mission creep?
SOS...maybe more S

Dogooders on the boards most often opt for free money...and comply. The template is cut....and dependence grows. More stick than carrot as time passes.
