    Factual REALITY supports my opinion.

    Compare the Libertarian platform of the 1980's to the current GOP platform and you cannot miss the similarities.

    Utterly WRONG!

    The Libertarian Articles of Confederation were a complete DISASTER which is why they were TRASHED in favor of the Constitution with a STRONG Federal government.

    Sure.

    “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.” – James Madison, Federalist 45, 1788

    Crime levels would be astronomical WITHOUT the current programs. Just look at other nations to see that REALITY.

    Our nation has no control when it comes to OVERFISHING outside of our national boundaries.

    Climate change is destroying habitats and impacting the health of the fish that need CLEAN COLD oceans to survive.

    Your fishing is going to become much WORSE now that your BLOTUS has arbitrarily ABANDONED international treaties. Remember to thank him when you waste your money going fishing in the future.

    And I just read an article about people retiring to Belize and it noted that yes if you want to live like a Belizian and live in a meager house and eat their meager diet and not have the amenities you have here you can live cheaper but if you want the same standard of living and convienences here it will cost about the same if not more as you will have to import a lot of stuff.

    Thank you from admitting to trolling instead of engaging in civil discourse as required by the forum rules.

    There was nothing else in the "content" that had any merit that warranted a response.

    why would crime get worse if people had to work?

    The biologists claim harvest is not a determining factor in the demise of Pacific Salmon stocks.. I'd suggest reading "salmon without RIvers " by James Lichetowitch

    That's what I am telling you the fishing cannot get any worse. It's already as bad as it can get, the next step is mass extinction and this in-spite of massive amounts of money spend and regulations adopted.. all of it has accomplished nothing.

    about the only environmental laws that have done any good are 1 removing DDT from pesticides and 2 pollution controls that helped with acid rain in the east.

    nearly all of the environmental regulations that have been undone were last minute executive orders from Obama.

    In Kansas where I live 40k gets you a small home, a car, and you can raise a family. All it takes is acting responsibly. Heck you even can take a vacation now and again. I know this for a fact.

    That has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the STRENGTH of the Federal government OVER the states.

    yes the federal government should be strong. but the constitution provided a limited scope for display that strength. Everything not in the constitution is the responsibility of the various states and out federal government is in way too many things it has no constitutional authority to be in. Yes the Federal government needs express permission from the constitution to do anything

    If you don't read it I can see how you'd conclude that.

    "Few and defined" vs "numerous and indefinite" could be easily confused.

    of course, but $36,000 USD in some areas of the world is worth more than others... that is the point

    trying to say we should pay Americans less cause other countries pay their people less is silly

    the only authority the federal government should have over the states is the constitution.

    "Few and defined" is difficult for the left to understand.
