"...We have the ability to do this. I hate to make the punch line something thats so banal, which is Its all Congress's fault, but its all Congresss fault. All Congress has to do is to make sure that instead of district- and state-level pork barrel project spending, projects have some kind of cross-border dimensions, so that American citizens, whatever state they live in, can be better connected to the big cities. And if you do that, the laws of economics will take over, and people will more freely engage in commerce. A map like this would enable Americans to flow more freely around the country. That is the difference between America and the European Union. We are a United States; you dont need to go through a border check to cross state lines. And yet were not taking advantage of that freedom of mobility across this incredible geography..." What a bunch of crap. This is a complete Federalist point of view. Because hey, if we get rid of all those nasty, hard to control states and only have eight "states", things will be so much easier to control.
These people make me want to puke.

I think that you err on your use of "Federalist" in this case. The common usage of "Federalist" is adherence to the 'originalist' interpretation deriving from the US Constitution. Thus, it means less power to the National Government and more to the various State Governments. My personal vote would be to substitute "Big Government" as more accurate and descriptive.

I’m becoming increasingly interested in people from other states having to obtain a visa to get into mine. I think liberals should have to live in the cess pits they created.
