The states have sold themselves into slavery by taking money from the feds that they should have doled out to the feds far more carefully to begin with.

States do not fund the feds. We tried that and it didn’t work too well. When states “doled out money to the feds” the central government couldn’t pay its bill and we got the Constitution.

Until the American people wake up we are screwed.

States rights began to die after the Civil War. They were dealt another crippling blow with the passage of the 17th Amendment.

I’m thinking I could hold off my share of federal troops....the ones that you could actually get to fire on US citizens....I should be good to hold down one to two rifle companies, from my mountainous area in NH. The taliban got nothing on a pissed off american when it comes to insurgency.
