You nailed it, arthurus!
And, the same applies to most other areas into which FedGov has oozed in the past 150 years...
Indeed, it does. Contributing much to the problem is that our representative democracy/republic has become much more like a popular democracy. The ratification of the 16th, 17th, and 19th Amendments is what totally changed the path of history for America. The 17th made the changes irreversible by taking the States out of the federal equation and the 19th guaranteed a majority for Big Daddy government. The 16th gave the Feds control of incomes. Any Trump presidency that intends to actually make a difference has to get rid of at least the first two of those and abolish all the government Agencies right down to the original 4 Departments. Trump can do that. I doubt he will.
