The states may well be the key, BUT they are firmly attached to the FedGov money spiggots. If they throw out FedGov, the money goes away. This is the equivalent of taking a methamphetamine abuser or cocaine addict off their dope. It would be VERY unpleasant which is why very few politicians have the spine or cajones for this kind of act.

I am truly clueless on this but, don’t the States send more money to DC than they get back?

I agree and we need to look at ways of dealing with it. I think the resources of the individual states could play an important part if we're willing to ignore unconstitutional federal regulations and restrictions. My state of Michigan sits atop a sea of natural gas, has the world's purest copper, has vast forests for logging and grows a lot of fruits and vegetables.

So when does the federal govt run out of money? The USSR went broke and NO ONE wanted to put the centralized power back together.
