Don’t state lawmakers understand that probably most of the vote-winning federal funding that they receive for various projects Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers?

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

In other words, most of the federal dollars that the states receive are arguably state revenues which the corrupt feds stole from the states by means of constitutionally indefensible federal taxes.
