None of these things are unconstitutional
- phasing out SS and medicare asap Nope, too many Americans depend on it
- ending the iraq war and closing our bases around the world except in afgh until we leave there Agree
- leaving the UN It is still a viable forum for international relations
- ending the federal reserve It has worked since 1913
- stopping all foreign aid Part of "carrot and stick" diplomacy
- stopping all trade embargos such as cuba Agree
- ending the income tax We have nothing to replace it with. Until we come up with something more equitable, it is still the best available means to collect revenue
Wrong. The Constitution does not give the power to mandate healthcare at the Federal level, nor is healthcare a Right granted in the Constitution. It IS unconstitutional for the Federal government to usurp the powers given to the states.
Same goes for social security and medicare.
History says it does
Social Security, Medicare, Income taxes all have withstood numerous challenges and so will healthcare.
Under the Supremacy clause, the Federal Government has powers to regulate the states. That one has also been challenged numerous times
Nope. History says the self-perpetuating hydra that is our government rarely if ever disagrees with itself and what it wants to do. For instance, nothing in the Constitution precluded states from seceding as easily as they joined the Union until 1868 when a Supreme Court ruling retroactively covered the US government's up to then illegal war against Southern States.
The Federal government usurped the Constitutional Rights of the states by force of arms. Simple as that. It's how our government does everything. Agree, or we'll kick your ass.
That doesn't change the Constitution nor its intent nor the ideals contained within one bit. We rebelled against our King for less.
