Newt’s running for president, not governor.
As president, he wants to reduce the role of the federal government and return those responsibilities to the states.
Each state would handle those responsilities differently.
Some (like NY and Calif) would probably do more and have bigger agencies than the federal govt did.
Some (like Alabama) would have smaller agencies.
Some (like Utah) would decide that wasn’t even a proper function of the state govt and not implement the agency at the state level at all.
Moving responsibility form the feds to the states means each state will handle it differntly. That’s better than the status quo (where the federal govt does everything) and (more imortantly) that’s the way it was designed to work. States are supposed to be different. That’s why we have states (which is the word for a country) and not provinces (which is the word for a subset of a larger government).

I know exactly what he proposes.. The federal government is way too big but literally every State government are too big as well.. NooT says reduce the size of federal government AND increase the size of State government..
Of course that will never happen but the timerity to speak it is brilliant.. Hes just talked of a switch “a transfer” of power.. from federal PROGRESSIVES.. to State PROGRESSIVES..
ONLY a stupid sheep would be fooled by that tricky rhetoric..
Exactly. People need to remember the duties of the office sought.
Another possible benefit of returning power to the states is that people might pay more attention to state and local politics. We can’t know that for sure, but reducing power at the federal level will give us the opportunity to find out.
