End affirmative action, and most other, federal programs

Q: Should the federal government end affirmative action programs?

A: No. I would advocate returned to our constitutional mandate. This would involve elimination of most all federal programs. It is stupid for the federal government to take money from the citizens only to return money to the states to carry out federally mandated programs.
