Too long have we let big government expand while we begged for more and more federal subsidies. Many states strive off federal funding and as the SC-7 begins to create law from interpretation, we let it happen.<BR/>I also blame the divide between liberals and conservatives. Republicans are too busy trying to keep their seats and power not noticing that our own Federalism is decaying towards a more nationalistic approach. A prime example comes from the new highway project that just passed. One of the front-runners of the project was a limp-wristed Republican from Alaska, begging for more money to connect tiny towns in the Alaskan expanse. Instead of using the standard ferry (privately-owned), they are building a golden gate replica to connect two towns with a combined population of less than 5000. Our tax dollars at work. Big government enveloping both business and pleasure. I can't wait to get my national ID card and bar code!!!<BR/><BR/>By no means do I blame W.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
