There's certainly area's where the federal government must play a roll in and there's area's they should NOT. How much power do you want the federal government to have over 300,000,000 lives is one of the questions we should be asking.
How do we define the 10th amendment?
Of course the federal government should play a big part in giving aid to the states.
Of course they should help build infrastructure and spark scientific advancements.
Of course they have a roll in defense, economics, etc.
I think the right should play up the 10th amendment mostly centered around not allowing the federal government to dictate social issues to the entire country. If you don't want gay marriage=ok; If you don't want abortion=ok, etc.
I'm also scared as I look at the federal government today and feel uncomfortable with the IRS and the justice department going into our lives. I feel the federal government should respect our rights.
There was a time in this nation where every stated would have turned down federal money.
