A Bill Of Federalism

May 23rd 2009 17:09
The writers of the original Federalist papers wrote extensively of the division of powers between the federal and state governments.

This power grab was last seen during the stimulus package. Many of the programs that were paid for by the package this year are permanent entitlements and become unfunded mandates next year. This is why so many governors tried to refuse part of the package.
