I agree with Stossel that the government is not good at solving things. The founding fathers agreed with us as well. I just find Ted's assertion that he is a socialist to be typical of Ted's ignorant posts. The Constitution mentions three things that are reserved for the Federal government: Provide for the common defense, unified foreign policy and common currency. The rest belongs in the control of states. Rather than bankrupting the whole country because idiots want to provide free services let states become overwhelmed when they experience massive immigration of unproductive people from less generous states.
