Isn't it funny how when you look at the Constitution, all of the enumerations for all three branches seem to be the only things the Federal Government is good at. Judicial Review is no where to be seen, and look how bad our Supreme Courts have been. The President isn't supposed to make laws unilaterally, yet he assumes a dictatorial role throughout history with executive orders. The Congress isn't supposed to relinquish the declaration of war powers, and look how big of messes wars have been the last sixty years.

The post office seems to work damn well. It seems when we don't follow the Constitution, NOTHING WORKS WELL! Education, health care, energy, civil liberties, etc. etc.

Really? I can't think of a single thing the government does well.

They can spend tax dollars pretty well.
