I wonder which one of these might be a tiny bit over bloated..
and which ones are actually mandated by the consitution as a federal power?
All of them. If it wasn't constitutional, the spending would never be authorized.
Consitutional and mandated by the consitution are two different things. I dont see environmental spending, or HUD, or OSHA, or food stamps as mandated by the consitution, unlike defense, which is a federal role.
