10th amendment bump.

Thanks Pantera. The author makes a couple of sweeping statements I find less than adequate as explanations or "action" plans. Plutarch's post #3 eloquently drives home one of them. Limiting the federales access to funds via OUR tax dollars takes a little more planning than just saying it needs to be done. But I agree something should be done to slim down an overweight feral government, I just don't know what that something is.

The author also states the passage of socialized medicine is the first time the federales have stepped over the line in a major way. I think most of us here would disagree with that statement, the feral government has been dragging our Constitution through the mud since at least the Civil War. Truth be known, statists began nibbling around the edges before the ink was dry.

Still in all it's maybe a starting point, so -- ~ping~

I ALWAYS forget something!

I would also add, about a year ago, give or take, and in the early going when the 10th Amendment initiatives were just beginning to show up on the radar there were several discussions concerning ways to cut off the feral beast. At various times over the decades various States and individuals(?) had proposed ways of doing just that. So, it's not like this hasn't been given some thought by some well connected people in and out of State government in the past. Whether or not any of these "plans" are workable is something I'm sure some of the PTB's within our State Houses are privy to. I just hope they can develop a plan that will give the feral government pause with even the threat of implementation.
