The problem is that state governments have become a piglet on the teet as well.

Seems to me that you contradict yourself... And local governments are, in some ways, the worst of all.

There is one truth about decentralized governance. States and localities have to compete with each other - which places a limit on them.

This is precisely why everything centralizes. They hate limits.
