In Washington, Conservatives Are Never Really ‘In Power’

I have a solution. Move the power center away from Washington. Downsize the Federal Government, and force the Congresss and Senate to tele commute to work. Live in their district and actually represent those who they work for.

Can you imagine what this would do? Less sell-outs of taxpayers.

Allow the Federal government to only have the power specifically given to them by the Constitution. Nothing more.

That is essential. Very much so.

I’ve been wondering about this too. It sounds like a good idea to me, along with term limits.

Departments of the government have been created why can't they be done away with? Education, Energy, etc...any thoughts.

I like your proposal. I would suggest moving departments to unpopulated areas where the govenrment has huge land tracks such as Nevada (nowhere close to Vegas), Eastern Wyoming, West Texas and New Mexico. The cost of living would be substantially lower.

Whole departments could be eliminated by proposing that their budgets be passed directly to the states. Even the NEA would have to support closing down the Dept of Education if it meant schools would have $2000 more per pupil to spend in the classroom. Same for the Dept of Agriculture.

The unemployment rate in the DC area would skyrocket. The laid off civil servants would have to move away from DC to get a real job and as a result would lower real estate prices in DC, which would justify pay cuts for those who stayed in DC thus further reducing federal spending.
