murra Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 One of my political science classes has a debate that I'm preparing for with assigned roles. My assignment is to be against the following proposition: That state and local governments should have primary responsibility for economic regulation and welfare policy, and that the federal government should limit its role to international affairs, monetary policy, and inter-state relations. After 2 hours of research I'm drawing a blank. Why should state rights NOT be expanded, and why should the Government keep its powers (specifically in regards to economic regulation and welfare policy). Any help would be appreciated.

You know what, I figured this was an entirely different situation, since I'm coming here looking for a lefty's perspective. I'm not really looking for someone to do my homework...

I am not very political but I would say that poorness is a big problem in all of America. There is a concept called economies of scale that you will learn about in school someday. The Federal government is bigger so it can get more scales. Plus it can see the big picture. Someone in Nebraska might be complaining about needing more cows and someone in New York City might be complaining about not being able to afford a taxi. If you left this to the states NY would get all the taxis and Nebraska would get all the cows. The Feds can split it up and make it even out more. The economies of scale would bring down the prices for taxis and cows across the whole country and not just in isolated ares. This would avoid poorness evenly.

blzrul Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 The typical right wingnut response is that I walked 473 miles each way uphill in the snow to a school whose tuition I financed by selling blood and cleaning out Porta Potties and I am DAMNED well not gonna help some snotnosed kid ease his way through school....whaddayathink this is a welfare society? Of course I am not a right wingnut. I rode a school bus actually. I did pay my way thru 3 college degrees though, no loans and only two brainiac scholarships...however I digress. (and it looks like you might be a little hypersensitive about that already. Why don't you pose your hypothesis as a poll and let people vote on it? You probably have some thoughts. If you don't, this is the last place you're gonna get any that will net you an A or anything close to it. Assuming of course you're not just some thinly-disguised troll...

Look at Mississippi's k-12 educational system and look at NY's. Miss can use all the help it can get, from the feds and anywhere else... Go Haly Barbour turn down that stimulus money... keep your people poor, starving and ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me a tool, but that dog don't hunt. "After 2 hours of research I'm drawing a blank." That looks like both barrels loaded. It took me two seconds to link to the US Constitution.
