There was a reason for forming states and self governing was the biggest part of it.

As Towns grew, the local people took care of matters as needed.

The Feds were to protect us, deal with foreign powers and coin money.

In 1790, the Feds stole the states right to deal with the Indians...and caused all kinds of havoc.

Now, the Feds are into every damn thing. School lunch programs is a good example of Feds gone crazy!!

Since we are now so indebted to foreign nations (China)by borrowing so much money, does the Federal government put these lands up as collateral, and then allow it to be sold to lower our debt?

As we moved west, the Evil Feds bought the Louisiana Territory, The Feds fought Mexico who ceded a large chunk of land, and the Feds bought Gadsden. Got the Oregon territory by treaty, and bought Alaska.

Then they built a huge number of forts and hired soldiers to fight the Indians so the land could be settled.

The feds paid for the territorial govts.

And it was the people back east who were paying for this.

A lot of people will tell you that the way Congress disbursed the western lands, or didn't disburse the western lands, was done in a way that would limit the power of the west(relative to the east), after these western states entered the union.

As if toilets, ladders, light bulbs, septic systems, lawn mowers, and pretty much anything related to life aren’t prime examples as well. Food, clothing, shelter, transportation, travel, Identification, personal privacy, hand in your pocket from birth to death and it will only get worse unless we the people in the name of sovereign states take control before all possibility of control is lost.

They are in everything from your toilet tank to your light bulbs to the low spot in the back yard that makes a puddle when it rains. But despite that, they can't close the border (which is their job).
