CTL > Federal Government said to the states if you don’t raise the drinking age to 21, we will cut off all federal highway funds to your state.
CTL, I always wondered how this is allowed to be legal. Feds collect taxes for the enumerated powers – defense, commerce, etc. Fine. Now they are are using the power of that money to compel states to do many other things. Constitution and bill of rights were made to limit federal powers. What is the limit here? Is there anything feds can’t compel by withholding funds?
