The one thing we have going for us in this fight, aside from the fact that ‘international liberals’ still haven’t fully grasped the central important of State politics(many if not most of them are putting everything on the Federal government to impose its will), is that in a handful of years, the massive price tag for this medicare expansion will be entirely upon our State Governments.
Keeping it small keeps it affordable, more sustainable, and encourages those yupies to go raid someone else’s wallet.
We should keep note, that if we are to amend the constitution, and not re-prohibit Washington from our Domestic affairs, we should demand that federal funds get distributed prepositionally to the States, and that non-defense related domestic program participation must be voluntary.
Prepositionally?
How about that states be funded by state taxes, and the federal government be funded by federal taxes and no mixing of the 2 at all.
