Per the tenth amendment. All powers not delegated to the federal government by the constitution are reserved to the states and the PEOPLE. The people have a much better chance of controlling their state and local governments than they do the feds.And I believe both Paul and Bachmann... and Perry support the constitution AND the tenth amendment.
Nothing wrong with returning all these functions to the states and the people. Its what the founders intended and what the federales usurped and stole from us since the 1913 progressive coup de tat.
There's that pesky Constitution thing again. Obama long before running for president sounded off that the Founders failed to redistribute the wealth. They knew economic freedom was essential to liberty; Barry Hussein is the apple-polishing pupil of Karl Marx.

The Federal Reserve and the Income Tax have resulted in a 7.2 trillion-dollar theft, and a Fed Chair and tax-cheat Treasury Secretary stonewalling Congress.
The role of the regulators (EPA, FDA, NOAA et al) is to crush growth and grind the people down, to mill the millionaires until the nation is a rust belt from sea to shining sea.

Newt wants to be Reagan-bold in regulation-cutting. Something's got to give: at 35%, any businessman will move globally to the 17% norm.
With all the regulation and permitting, nothing is built, nothing is drilled, energy is dear, and jobs disappear.
Let the Left let loose with the wailing and gnashing of teeth.
A new nation is born: the original plan emerges from the prison of crypto-Communism aka Obamanomics.
Yep. The majority of home improvement jobs I'm getting are seniors, or DINK's with at least one of them having a government job.
I love that graphic!
Phil...we need a Reagan now, even more than we needed him after Carter.
I hope we get one...
