"The federal government runs practically everything now. Is this what people want?"

Of course they want government to run everything. Being responsible for one's well being and actions is so, so demeaning. (sarcasm)

But how many times here does a conservative think another law is the solution to the problem? We want our legislatures to fix things.

I don’t know what the solution is. The reality is the Govt IS the economy these days. The Government IS the central authority. There is no place in our society where the Federal Government is not and I have looked long and hard. There are some places where there is less government and more freedom such as the rural areas. Freedom is a relative term.

The only way that is changed is How?

There was a movement back to state rights for awhile until we got our man in central authority. Trump is removing much regulation as fast as he can.

Deregulation is not a perfect solution, it just moves the evil to another place, that is the nature of man. I would rather have evil diversified into local community than centralized. This all started with the local evil government, needed to be controlled by the county or state which then also became evil.

People were once ruled by an internal, moral, civil, religious code, but it is not there any more. Actually that may be an aberration, not the norm if we look thru history.

And then there is Adam Smiths INVISIBLE HAND which may be at work.

God’s historical solution is to let his people be captured and carried away and start over with a remnant........
