I think the core of Ron Paul's argument is that these things should NOT be addressed by the FEDERAL government.
That makes a lot of sense to me. The larger the government agency, the more waste and special interest money is thrown around. Right now there is such a massive pie of federal dollars that lobbyists fight over in Washington it is absolutely ridiculous.
