If we can make this TOTALLY a "states" issue, it will solve itself over time as those states who are wasteful will soon learn that business and taxpayers can choose to live elsewhere. It also provides protection from over reaching by the feds as they are now. There are legitimate needs for some federal presence in our lives as our founding fathers understood and made accommodations for but it should be MINIMAL.
“If we can make this TOTALLY a “states” issue...”
