What is happening to US politics?

in politics •  7 years ago 

that is a whole lot more salaries, benefits, flights and hotels the taxpayer would have to pay. I am not sure more is better, well at least not that many more.
I would prefer instead to return the federal government to core missions i.e. defense and interstate commerce and make every effort to push the petty crap they typically deal with back down to individual states. Let States decide if Planned parenthood can operate and if so under what limitations, let states decide how to use infrastructure money, let states decide health insurance. This would of course require a change in taxes to allocate more to states and less to federal, but that is a big first step towards recovery.
