I believe that having a strong national government is very important but at the same time I also feel the states should have a strong power. An equal share of power would be great. I think that having equal power allows for a good checks and balances system and keeps too much power from being given to one entity.
The National power began to shift back to the states somewhat after the Great Depression because of the cutbacks to spending due to the Reagan administration. He felt that the federal government was too strong and limited the spending they were allowed to do. That caused the national power shift to take place.
I am not sure how I feel about the federal government regulating education. I can see both pros and cons of it and could argue either way. I do like the way they are helping people be able to go back to school and helping them be able to get an education but I don’t think that I would like to be much more “regulated” than that.
I agree that the federal government regulating education is a touchy subject with some people, and also see the pros and cons of that regulation. I do feel that if today's children stand a chance at a good education no matter their proximity, race, or gender, some regulation needs to be made by the federal government so that all children in the US have the same opportunity at a good education.
