We could dabate whether these fall under "provide for the common welfare"
but lets not.


There's nothing to debate. The notion of the Preamble granting Carte Blanche
is probably the most blatent myth of the modern era.

I would argue that national parks and medical R&D are National issues
and
as
such should be funded at the National level.

And neither are government issues...state of federal.


An artifical rain forest in
Iowa is clearly not a National issue

Quite! That would be one for Disneyland.
