Does anyone realize the difference?

I see many people bring up the fire department and police and even roads as a defense of Obamacare. Do you realize that none of these (with the exception of high ways because of the constitution) are established or run by the federal Government? that's why NYPD is named that, as is the RRFD (round rock, TX). all of these are city run and funded right? there's no federal mandate for these things.

    There are example of public goods, what governments provide. Nothing in either House or Senate health care bills violate the Constitution. Congress has the authority under the Commerce Clause. The tenth amendment does not apply here because health care insurance reform affect interstate commerce.

    Yes but this confuses the Libs and then they just resort to pulling the race card.

    Exactly---government extends from the individual, to the community, to the state and lastly to the federal-- which should be minimal.
