For over 100 years the Federal Government has been used as a pot of money to “fix” social problems never authorized by the Constitution. Restitution must be given to people who paid into dissolved federal programs.

Agree! Straying beyond what is enumerated in the Constitution is the root of most of the rot and corruption at the Federal Level. We need to get back to the idea of 50 state experiments. If states have the opportunity to implement what makes sense for them other states may follow or choose their own path. Rather than having a Federal agency and implementation at the Federal level , the states can join together at the state level to increase efficiency.

Any person proposing a policy should first aske themselves - is this an enumerated power?
