“Little to no discussion on whether there is a constitutional authority problem. Just accept the premise that the federal government needs to be involved and go from there.”
Thank you! I’ve been saying that for years now.
I am not disagreeing with the premise; I agree with it, wholeheartedly. My question though, is how do you address the idea of the cure killing the patient. It took decades to get where we are and an argument is made that in order to maintain the Republic things must be rolled back incrementally, rather that in one fell swoop. For example, immediately do away with any of the social safety nets (aka largess) and there would be a 100% guarantee of violent backlash that could (would in my opinion) destroy the Republic.
