[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] [QUOTE]I said that the federal government has no right to spend money on education, whereas missile defense is a legitimate expenditure. [/QUOTE] This is an entirely true statement. What's your problem with it? The Constitution specifically gives the Federal government power to provide for the common defense of the United States (Article 1, Section 8). Nowhere does it, or any of the Amendments, mention education. And since the 10th Amendment clearly relegates all powers not delegated to the Federal Government to the States, Education is supposed to be a State matter, not a Federal one. This was made especially clear when the state of Kansas made itself a laughingstock a few years back, remember? (Nevertheless, to keep standards uniform throughout the country, it is helpful to have National guidelines, but not more than that.) Now, one might say that the Federal government pays for a lot of education through its programs... but it does so by distributing federal tax money through the states. It would be more efficient (and probably cheaper) if this money went directly to the states, through state taxes. (corresponding with the obvious reduction in Federal taxes.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
