that sounds good but what would it mean, do in practical terms?
would it at least get rid of the corrupt state level politicians that are responsible for most of the state government overspending? if so, would WashingtonDC appoint territorial governors or what? I really don’t know. Would you trust WashingtonDC to appoint honest, fiscally responsible governors? (I wouldn’t trust WashingtonDC to appoint our local dog catcher). Or?
I don’t see being a USA Territory as a punishment. I don’t see being a USA state as a reward. I just wish for more integrity in the state governments ... but how to get it if the public won’t elect it? Trusting other politicians to appoint territorial governors? PDJT would probably try to find honest people for the jobs but .. in general...would you trust WashDC to do the right thing? It so seldom does, smile smile smile.
I sure hope Im overlooking something about reverting to a USA territory, something that would indeed clean things up
“I just wish for more integrity in the state governments.”
The only integrity needs to be backed by penalties to the so-called leaders to include jail time, loss of savings, job, etc. No more federal employee unions, ever—outlawed! If leadership misses metrics, they can be disciplined, severely. The partial to total collapse of this country offers some possibilities to correct all the wrongs foisted on us by both parties for so long. They want to serve? Then serve at minimal pay. No retirement, no special medical, term limits, no PACs, etc. A felony? Cannot “serve”, ever! And on and on.
Territorial governors were appointed by DC politicians in the past and they ranged from good to bad to treasonous ( See General Wilkinson) It would be no different now. It would break up the internal state political class\union cabals that make any financial reform impossible. Would it guarantee good sensible state government? No! It only allows change.
