Movin on up, to the east side. To a deeeelux apartment in the sky..
That quote has apparently been mis-quoted since the 1830s, so you're excused.

We start by recognizing that you and I are citizens of Colorado. It is that citizenship which grants us citizenship within any of the states that are also part of the union should we choose to migrate to another state and what affords us the protection of the federal government with regards to our individual rights and liberties. We start by recognizing and accepting that the individual welfare of the citizens of the State of Florida is a State of Florida concern, not a State of Colorado concern. We apply that original intent and thought to every aspect of domestic policy - including education.
What would be proper at this point is to turn over the federal welfare programs, including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and all the rest of it over to the sovereignty of the separate and independent states. This is the portion of the federal budget that has been so dismally mismanaged and revenue misappropriated for that we find ourselves $14 Trillion in national debt with over $100 Trillion worth of unfunded liabilities. The only part of the current federal budget for which the federal government should have any powers is what is now known as the discretionary spending portion of the budget. All the rest of the nonsense that the federal government has inserted itself into over the past 100 or so years is, and always has been, properly the role of the state government, not the federal one.
That's where we begin - by abandoning the doctrine that consolidates the power of governance into a single, large entity. The only way that gets done at this point is by amending the Constitution such that there is no longer an ability for the federated government to usurp such power from the sovereign states that have voluntarily joined the union.

We force them to do it by returning them to the limited powers they were supposed to have rather than by continuing to allow them the powers they have usurped that they wish to have. The federated government was never intended to have any powers regarding the domestic affairs of the individual states and their citizens. They were never intended to have the power to address the individual welfare of each and every citizen in each and every state. That was, and ought to be still, the role of the separate, individual and sovereign state in which the citizen resided.chickaree wrote:
so how do we force them to do this?cydl wrote:

Until politicians decide that doing the people's business is more important than running for re-election, the economy will NEVER get fixed...because they don't want to take any responsibility for making a hard decision!
