BINGO!
That's how our system works!
Except that people as a whole don't like change, and never seem to vote anyone out of office.
As Long as their Reps get their 'Sweetheart Deals" paid for by the Other States? No Shit.
I see talk of Succession by many...and outright insurrection by many I speak to daily. They're FED UP.
I support sucession as legal right of the states as a last ditch tool that prevents the federal government from encroaching on state sovriegnty or I believe in the Robert E. Lee's vision of a voluntary union.
When the Federal UNION causes the STATES to overreach their budgets as the FED is proposing to do, and even the FED cannot PAY for it...
WHAT are they to do? WHAT recourse have they when the 10th Amendment is so flagrantly violated?
