To me this seems partly/mostly to be hovering around the federal vs states' rights argument. And this would not be something a socialist would see as a favorable path. In my view the federal government is/has gotten too big and powerful, and since they seem to do such a bad job at almost everything, less can only be better. I'm ready to give the local states guys a shot to see what they can do. Let's do that for 20 or so years and see how things look. But I feel bad for what might happen to states that depend on federal support for even the most basic needs. I propose that Pennsylvanians chip up and buy North Dakota as a summer camp location.
