Neither. The interstate system is technically the only long term commitment of the federal government out of those listed.
Schools get messed up because of the government creating nice organizations like black rock, they raise, and then drop property values. Schools get funding based on a percentage of property taxes called millage. If property suddenly devalues compared to the amount of people living on it, or the company you're trying to tax has better lawyers to evade the taxes then you can hire, that school is keeping broken windows.
Highways and their repair are on a state, or county level, though often seek out federal funding.
Everything else, I don't think a big deal should be made one way or another about what consenting adults do with themselves or each other. Whether it be putting transformers up on a pedestal, cockblocking their cock-chopping, or whatever else. If a doctor is willing to do something, they're willing to take the fallout, that should be enough, same with euthanasia. That one never made sense to me, why abortion is legal but euthanasia is illegal.
Our government should field a military to protect us from external threats, intelligence for internal and emerging threats along with their own, and funding of basic research. The ATF is useless, the FDA needs more chemists and less bureaucrats, same could be said of the EPA, though engineers there as well. Healthcare needs less regulations, let go of the DEA blocks, let military equivalent training count towards nursing, or being a doctor. Healthcare will only get sorted out if there is more choice in private providers, which would put pressure on insurance companies as well.
In truth... the only thing you listed that US Constitution gives Congress the authority to deal with is the repair and upkeep of highways.
Abortion - Is allotted to the level of the states.
Healthcare - alloted to the level of the states.
Schools - allotted to the level of the states.
There are SOME portions of those items that Congress CAN and does provide a framework for and that's about it.
Abortion - the "state" (country) has a vested interest in saving lives. Since laws already appoint a double murder for the killing of a pregnant woman, it's long been set that the "state" recognizes the pregnancy as life. To go further, individual States need to determine anything within that framework.
Healthcare - while many would argue that healthcare is a "right", you'll NEVER find that in the Constitution. It's NOT the job of the US, or State Gov't to provide healthcare for anyone. I fully disagree with laws that "require" you to have health insurance! Some people can afford it on their own (FYI - I'm not one of those people.).
Education - the ONLY reason I can see for that Department to exist is to establish MINIMUM requirements of learning for all States to meet for H. S. graduates 🎓. They need to learn to read (English), to spell (English), mathematics up to a certain level, learn history - specifically American history, learn science basics, and so on. After that, the States can determine whether to increase the requirements for graduates.
With the exception of saving us from trans people. Why can't our government fix more than the roads, schools, and healthcare? Of course some issues should be prioritized. But Healthcare, highways, and schools is not enough for me in such a broken country.
Healthcare worker here! Have at the healthcare system. Can't make it any worse...
Also... no one needs any saving from transgendered people or from abortions. Those can feel totally free to stay.

B.
The government can kindly leave me alone. I'm fine with taxes, long as it goes to shit I want done.
Yes, lets fix the roads. Lets secure our borders, Lets become energy independent again, lets bring jobs back to America. Build Back Better is where nothing gets built, nothing comes back and nothing is better
You think that's what's the government is for. Their job is to keep us confused and guessing. Then kill us
Those babies need saving from abortions though. If you give a shit about that, if not, whatever. What are republicans trying to do to trans people I must ask?
The government has many responsibilities and isn’t as simple as you asked
The role of govt is to be as small in scope and size as possible, and to protect our God-given rights and freedoms
Both
None of the above
