@Ryooken vaccine mandates are only legal when done locally. Federal mandates on private citizens are being challenged in the courts now as they are arguably unconstitutional.

@Ryooken 1777: That vaccine mandate was on federal troops, not private citizens. That is why it was legal. 1813: Ok, not a mandate though 1902: Sure, still no mandate 1977: Again, no mandate What you are laying out are not mandates. That is why Biden's vaccine mandate is being challenged in courts. It begs the question of the role of the federal government. The role of the federal government is to deal with foreign affairs and commerce between states. Arguably, an institution like OSHA should not exist. But even with it existing all it can do is create workplace safety regulations. A vaccine mandate is not that because if you are vaccinated you are safe. OSHA is about preventing putting others at risk. Also, many federal programs you listed simply encourage something. Compare it to the Department of Ed. States set up their own education standards, not the department of ed. All they do is recommend a standard and offer money to those who follow them. When Common Core was created many states refused to adopt it. So the federal government can't mandate things domestically at that point.

@Ryooken you are not a lawyer either bud. On the mandates there are challenges to them, especially the federal ones. When Biden did his mask mandate all he could do were mandates on federal property. That was it. That is because the federal government is limited in domestic laws they can pass. The vaccine mandate is arguably unconstitutional as it goes beyond the limits of the federal government.

@Ryooken I feel you are lying bud. If you know what you are talking about you would know that there are limits to the federal government. Basically, unless interstate commerce is involved there is really nothing the federal government can do. That is why Biden's mask mandate was just for federal property. And this is why the vaccine mandate is being challenged in the courts as no other time did such a mandate ever exist in the US.

@kevinjackson1893 yep, also, the definition of an "anti vaxxer" was changed as well. Apparently me being against vaccine mandates makes me an "anti vaxxer" even though I took the vaccine. In reality, me being against the vaccine mandates makes me someone who questions the government's intentions and feel it should have limits. In reality, it has nothing to do with vaccines but limitations on governments as a whole.

@glennpearson9348 the federal government is there for two things. Deal with foreign affairs and commerce between states. For the programs you listed Highways: Commerce between states for travel Roads and bridges: Same as highways, however, 3/4 of funding for roads and bridges are state and local to begin with. The only ones funded federally are ones that travel through multiple states. Airports: Funny you bring up international airports, as in foreign affairs Funding for disasters: States have to approve of them. When Katrina happened the governor of LA delayed in accepting federal aid from Bush leading people to think Bush failed and was called a racist. In reality, the federal government cannot enforce state law without consent of the governor Regulation on food and drugs: Again, only if done over state lines. Watch the movie "Tapped". At one part they discussed how a certain water bottle company does not have to follow federal regulations as they operated in only one state. Drinking water federal funds: States do not have to accept it. It is the same as the Department of Ed and education standards. States don't have to follow them and many don't. NASA: A part of foreign affairs Yes, please read the Constitution.
