The Washington bureaucracy needs to be severely downsized then decentralized. Congress should stay at home and caucus, vote, and windbag via an Electronic Capitol. D.C. should be given back to Virginia and Maryland. The White House can become a museum and the president can live in a double-wide in the Missouri Bootheel, within walking distance of a Dairy Queen for entertaining visitors.

Part of what was Dc was given back to Virginia back in the early 1800s. It is now Arlington and part of Alexandria. The rest, north of the Potomac River was part of Maryland - it could go back to Maryland rather than being considered a separate entity.

Maryland can have all of it! We Virginians will pass.
