Stick to the basics of the Constitution
The 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, states that all powers that aren't reserved for the federal government, in the Constitution, are reserved for the states or the people. I read every word of the Constitution, and I didn't see the words "education," "school," "healthcare," or "medical."
However, Senators McCain and Obama said that the federal government should improve education and healthcare.
Either McCain and Obama haven't read the Constitution, or they want to disobey it. I think that they wanted to buy votes from people who don't know the constitutional roles of the federal government.
I hope that, in 2012, at least one major-party presidential candidate will advocate obeying every word of the Constitution.
