@bradstevens it wouldn’t necessarily be adding it would be replacing. And to a certain extent consolidating. I’m the last person that wants more gov. It would be reshaping gov. It would require a constl convention rewriting of so many laws reshaping of public admin blah blah blah so will never happen but I’m no longer wedded to the belief what we have now is best. What’s more I think it will only get worse as we see just how polar nyc and Cali are from entire blocks of the country
But who would print our fiat money? 🤔@twenty Ignoring the benefits it provides to the actual election I think it might be more relevant right now than ever from the old values of insulation from tyranny and the importance of federalism. Do we want the policies of Bass and Mamdani affecting what goes on in that massive swath of red in the states between them. Their values matter and their say should matter. Accounting for same pushes us closer to the middle and reduces the chances of radical candidates. I think the EC is really important still.
Now. Would I be for blowing everything up and reimagining gov. Yes. I still like Sope’s old idea of smaller Fed gov and the creation of regional gov’s that better reflect the people and can be more responsive.
Hear me out.....how about we create a very tiny Federal government (5% of GDP) that takes care of the military and borders. Then we leave the rest up to the states. And citizens can choose to move freely when they don't like their state government or stay when line it. Just an idea 😁
No need, we have.........
