Let me quickly remind you of what the Tenth Amendment says before I get on my soapbox for a bit:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Hillary Clinton has been promising that there will be guaranteed health care for everyone. This drives me crazy, and indeed, bugs the shit out of me. What is happening here is that Billary Clinton (that is not a typo… Billary = Bill + Hillary “the Mad Dog” Clinton) is using the scare tactics that she claims the conservative side of the aisle use against the common folk out there. Don’t believe that, for it is a bold-faced lie used tirelessly by the wacky socialist left in this country. Face it: too many people just do not know the facts. Seriously, nobody in the United States is denied health care. They may not have health INSURANCE, but in no way is that the same thing as not having HEALTH CARE. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something, and again, Hillary is my “snake oil” selling case in point.
Do I dare say that Hillary is a big fat liar? By gum, I just did. First, she has no right to make these ridiculous campaign promises assuring universal health care to the gullible American sheep (the naïve sheeple) following her lies. Furthermore, the entire U.S. Congress and the federal government, in fact, have no constitutional right, to authorize federal health care, to fund it, or to mandate it. This is a states’ rights issue, plain and simple. Nowhere in the constitution does it say that the federal government is authorized to mandate, sanction, finance, subsidize, or provide universal health care. This is more of the socialist agenda of the left wing welfare crazies in the wacky loony bin of the left.
In our governmental system, arranged as it has been by the Founding Fathers, one thing that Hillary forgets is that the states are the de facto and constitutionally provided uppermost governmental authority, and the states themselves are constitutionally subservient only to the willful consent to those governed by the states, the hard working citizens of each singular state. The states have the power to bring suit and legal action directly to the U.S. Supreme Court (the court that has the original and premier influence), in order to dispute the constitutionality of federal regulations at the national level.
The individual states also have the power to join in a constitutional convention to approve amendments to the U.S. Constitution entirely without U.S. Congressional approval, through the constitutional conventions process. These are some fantastic powers. The states’ governments (collectively) unconditionally have the authority to rescind or substitute part or all of the U.S. Constitution if they so choose. Say the states choose to do this, the likely means would be to use the process of creating amendments to replace the Constitution entirely, or to take back the powers that the federal government has illegitimately stolen through the years (and I say firmly that ‘stolen’ is the validly descriptive term for what the U.S. Congress has been incrementally doing for decades… stealing power from the states. I am frustrated in saying that the states are by no means becoming fragile or defenseless against uncontrolled authoritarianism from the federal government, despite the many higher court rulings attempting to misappropriate state powers and reassign these states rights to the federal government against them.
What frustrates me is that the states do, in fact, seem to be losing ground to the federal government. It is in reality a case where the individual states do not have the nerve and the resolve to step up to the plate, to shelter and secure their constitutional rights. Why? The states no longer stand up for their rights and demand that the federal government back off and let the states govern their people as each state sees fit to do.
The cynic in me says that while the states are the final check on the federal government’s power, when the U.S. Congress does not act in their interests, the states just do not have the guts to take back what is rightfully theirs to begin with. Hillary Clinton cannot offer you universal health care. It is not her right, nor the right of the United States Congress or the federal government to make those promises. To put it bluntly, it is a states’ rights issue. For the federal government to adopt a socialist stance and provide health care to the sheeple not only breeds dependency and fosters the state of welfare addicts demanding more and more welfare benefits, the fact is that socialistic medicine is blatantly and absolutely unconstitutional.
