I’d be more impressed with John McCain if he would stand up against borrowing $10 BILLION per month from China! The Montana Grizzly study actually yields results. McCain endoreses policies in place that produce debt….......

I can understand the affection for the bear study here in Montana, but we need to remember that we just expect and allow the US government to take tax dollars nation wide and spend them on things they have no business spending it on in individual states and areas.
Please allow me to share the following quote from the US Constitution and Statesman Thomas Jefferson: “I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground that ‘all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states or to the people.’ To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, not longer susceptible of any definition.”
Studies about bears is not a power delegated to the Federal government. That would be a state function. We need to get control of the Federal government and return those powers to the states. The states can collect those taxes just as well as the Feds. Getting money from someone in another state to do things in our state is WHY the limitations were put on the Fed. The definitions have gotten blurred as Jefferson warned.
