"The powers delegated by the Constitution to the federal government are few and defined."

The title was a quote from James Madison (author of the Constitution).  Initiatives put forth by the current administration such as "ObamaCare,"( but not limited to this only) run counter to such principles set forth by our Constitution and would be more fitting for a socialist country.  So how did we end up with such initiatives becoming law?  Popularity and votes.  Free ice cream is always appreciated and when you're the one giving you get the votes.  Though the idea of "free," anything is an illusion.  Someone is paying and in this case it is most of us.
