Yes, our Founding fathers wanted to establish several centers of power - they were called States.
No, our Found fathers did not want to centralize power in one location.
If you take a close look at Washington DC circa 1790 it was not a good place to establish a national capitol. The weather in summer was miserable. Add to this the diseases common to 18th century swamps and Washington DC was a comfortable environment for only six months. Until the advent of air conditioning DC had two distinct life styles. One was when Congress wasn't in session (a small Southern town) and one when Congress was in session (a major Northern city).
Hmmm.
Perhaps we can ban air conditioned government buildings inside the beltway as a way of reducing the over bearing federal Government?/s/
Thanks for the info. Yes, lets ban ac for the pols in DC and maybe they’ll get things done faster. And in keeping with the ‘’separation of church and state’’ thing , I say keep the government open on Christmas. (sar.)
