I, Sec. 8. Education is not listed among those powers. Food programs are not mentioned among Congressional powers. Health care is not mentioned. It's very simple to understand. Just read the Constitution. If you can't find the power listed there, it wasn't granted to the feds. That means you and your state still have the power to act in those areas. So, if you want government doing those things for you, talk to the state legislators in your state.

And how about food stamp and WIC programs run by the Feds? What about childre's health care, medicare and universal healthcare?
