How have federal mandates allowed the federal government to control the traditional police powers of the state?

Money, money, money. The federal government provides monetary help to states for various matters normally within a state's own jurisdiction. But, this help always comes with conditions or mandates that the states must meet or they don't get the money. For example, a basic state police power is setting speed limits on local roads. The federal government has no authority over local state highways, because they are not involved in interstate commerce. Say the federal government believes a speed limit should not exceed 60 miles per hour, but the state believes 65 is just fine. The federal government can offer financial assistance to states for maintenance of local roads but mandate that in order to receive that money, the speed limit cannot exceed 60 miles perhour. States that need this money are now forced to comply with federal guidelines rather than its own, even though the federal government has no power to set speed limits on local highways. This happens in many other areas as well. Education, housing, health care and many others. If a state does not go along with a federal mandate, no money.

Why did the Federal Government allocated millions of dollars for child care programs throughout the US during World War 2?

They made the money for child care because the women needed to go to work in the factories while the men fought. As soon as the war over the money was no longer provided and women were to go back home and be homemakers. Just imagine what we would have today if what they had started 60 years ago continued.

Why has the power to regulate interstate commerce become such an important power of congress?

The Constitution defines what the federal government can do. This is supposedly all that the federal government can do. All else is left to the states to govern themselves. For example, the original purpose of the federal government was to wage war if necessary to protect the people in the states - it was all about the people. The federal government has found two ways to intrude into the freedoms guarranteed tot he people by the Constitution. 1. The federal government issues mandates for the states to follow. If the states don't do it, the fed cuts off money used for mutual benefit, such as highway funds. Keep in mind that all money in the USA comes from the people's taxes - so the fed threatens to refuse to use the money taken from the people to benefit the people in any state that refuses to go along. 2. The federal government is allowed to regulate interstate commerce, just as the FBI is allowed to investigate interstate crime, but not crime within a state. Lately the congress and the fed have sought to re-define what interstate commerce is in order to gain more power over, and take freedom from, the people. Obamacare is an example. Explanation of Obamacare: You go into a 7-11 store. The clerk asks you, "do you want to buy a coke ?". You say "No, thanks". Then the clerk says, "That will be 10 cents tax. Please pay me or I will call a federal marshall !". Is this interstate commerce? Has freedom beed taken ?
