G/M NEMO AND ALL,

I FINALLY GOT TO FINISH READING YOUR ARTICLE. THE LAST PARAGRAPH WAS INTERESTING. STILL THINKING ABOUT IT, WHICH IS A GOOD THING - YANNO, (( ME )) THINKING! THX AGAIN.

MARK LEVIN IS ON FOX AND FRIENDS RIGHT NOW.

The Solution Lies in Decentralization

The solution lies in removing from the federal government its authority over such a wide range of issues, and to allow diversity and localism in government. This naturally includes welfare programs, public lands, airport security, law enforcement, military land forces, immigration, and the regulatory state.

As it is, American governmental institutions — being so dependent on federal funding and regulatory oversight — are now fragile, bloated, unresponsive, and prone to political bottlenecks. We now see this at work.

The problems we now encounter with the shutdown ought to placed squarely at the feet of those who have called endless for ever greater levels of federal control over state and local communities, while centralizing both financial and regulatory power under within a single institution. Not everything needs to turn into a nationwide systemic problem when the federal government encounters a political impasse. We ought to take steps now to limit the damage the feds can do.
