    Constitution section 8. Interstate Commerce & (post) Roads both are specifically mentioned.

    Well, you're not going to bop down to Starbucks in your Tesla at will, but that's kinda the point.

    Medical care is very close to par with the States in terms of quality, and a fraction of the cost.

    Some inconveniences, but that's the price of cheap living.

    It seems like the most vociferous from either side are the least informed/knowledgeable.

    Sarcasm font is sorely missing from the intertoobs.

    I think SS would survive just fine if the fuckers in the gov' would stop using it as their piggy bank to fund their bullshit, and leaving behind nothing but a stack of "IOU"s.

    Wouldn't the list be easier to compile if we stuck to the things in which the Fed should be involved?
