We need to stand up to the federal government before they take away all the states' power. I can't help but wonder if it is too late to right some of the wrongs done in taking away so much of the state's power. Early in my teaching career, the government got involved in states' education programs. I remember my principal saying that if we took a penny, the federal government would control the whole dollar. That has come to pass in education, school lunches, etc. to the point now where school districts are required to have programs, including transportation, for meals during the summer. Where is parent responsibility, and if they are on food stamps, why aren't they bringing lunch from home? At the first school where I taught many years ago, we did have some poor children, but no child ever did without lunch. The PTA had a fund set up for those children, and there was always food left. Every child was had lunch. Just an example of the path of cradle to grave care from the federal government that we are on, and don't need. All the feds "we know better than you what you need and want" takes away incentive from way too many people to improve themselves by education and hard work, not to mention when the feds get involved, ineffiency and cost both go up. Unless people are truly disabled or too old to work, I believe there should be limits set on what too many people consider freebies (welfare, food stamps, subsidized housing, etc.). They aren't free, everyone who pays taxes pays for them. Very informative. We need to stand up to the federal government before they take away all the states’ power.
