But, sure, you get gray areas when you leave social programs up to states, which might result in a state exporting it's poverty.  Or you don't have uniform regulations, and then a state might be exporting its pollution.

I certainly agree that a smaller central is better in our unique nation, I just don't think the evidence suggests they wanted the kind of central government you have in a federation.
