I think that you're right. Personally I find it hard to believe that the framers didn't realize what a big hammer they were giving the government with the interstate commerce clause. Granted, there wasn't nearly as much of it then as there is today, but you can use it for everything from road work to drug (legal) sales to livestock without stretching it at all.
