Multiply that by 50, and that's $1.5 trillion that should be collected and spent at the state and local level, if at all. The federal government has exceeded its constitutional authority, to the point where our state and local governments have become dependent upon its largess. That is not how our federalist system of government was designed to work. Thanks for helping me illustrate how badly our federal government is broken. The progressives would like us to become even more dependent on an out-of-control, unaccountable, distant central government. As a conservative, I would like to restore the constitution, return power to the state and local governments, and give people more democratic control over the policies and systems that affect their daily lives.
