Good for your state rep.

Other than the attempt by the Citizens for Self-Governance in the Article V Convention of States to reverse things, I think our best shot is state nullification of unconstitutional federal action.

For your rep or any state to successfully nullify fed action, the people and officials of that state will need to accept the very real possibility of doing without federal funds. IMO, a state would do better without federal funds if they adopted the free market with lower state government and taxes. That state would have a good chance of becoming much more financially healthy than the bankrupt federal government.

I'm all for that. Its a great position to stand in if you want less money going to the feds in the first place. It's why I supported (but didn't love) a state bailout of Detroit. When other cities come to the feds for a bailout, we'll have the moral standing to say "NO".
