#3 The government's place is to build roads, regulate interstate commerce, and provide for national defense.

It also used to be to maintain a common single stable currency. The roads are falling apart (just travel IL), they're strangling commerce with central planning and taxes, and they've dropped national defense to pre-1939 levels of proportional manning. So why shouldn't they screw up the currency as well. Bread and games for everyone!
