can you cite anywhere in the constitution that backs up your claim that its the federal government's job to do those things?
Yes.
Article I, Section 8 - The Commerce Clause:
Gibbons v. Ogden (1824), states may not interfere with Congressional regulatory authority, this ensures consistent and comprehensive Federal regulation; regardless one’s state of residence, he can expect the same quality of life as anyone else, anywhere else in the Nation.
Article I, Section 8 - Necessary and Proper Clause:
McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), reaffirmed the Constitutional doctrine of the implied powers of Congress and that Congress has the authority to enact laws not enumerated in the Constitution.
Article VI, Section 2 - Supremacy Clause:
McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), laws passed by Congress must prevail over any inconsistent state laws or local measures that conflict with Federal legislation.
Remember that the Constitution exists only in the context of its case law; actions by Congress or other legislative bodies are subject to judicial review with the Supreme Court the final authority as to what the Constitution means.
What Commie propaganda site did you get these interpretations from? They are total bullshit. Try quoting the actual text of the decisions to support your idiot claims rather that what some commie demagogue says about them.
