Decentralize government to resolve country's divisions

[longknife]

We need to do this to stop Washington's dictatorship. I can see the leftist screams about this being another States Rights tirade, but it makes a whole lot of sense. This is what the Founders saw as what this federation of states was all about:

Education, zoning, laws and the governing of morality were handled largely at the local level. The federal government focused on things that were its natural purview — interstate transportation, immigration, foreign and defense policy.

Federal intervention remained necessary at times, for example, to assure voting rights. But, overall, maintaining power at the local level has remained broadly popular, with the support of over 70 percent of the adult population. Even in one-party California, most would prefer to see local officials, not those at the national or state level, in control.

While this sounds great, I worry that our current activist judiciary will never allow it to happen. Read more @ Decentralize government to resolve country's divisions | Newgeography.com

DJT may give this a try by deconstructing the Depts of Labor, HUD, and Energy.

Reagan talked about it but never did it. For Reagan this talk was all B/S. Same as his talk about balancing budgets.

DJT won't be able to balance any budgets either. If he tries he will not be re-elected.

Interesting --- since this is what the Democratic Party of the 19th century stood for....
