Now you know why I subscribe to a liberal version of supply side economics that merely claims, it should be supplying us with better governance at lower cost. In my opinion, providing for the common defense and general welfare is not the problem; but, providing for the general warfare and any common offense is a problem, especially on a longitudinal basis. I agree that the general government should be fixing Standards for the Union and paying the debts of any States implementing those federal Standards.
Could you please give some examples regarding Standards for the Union? I don't understand the concept of setting standards and then funding states to implement standards?
