just take a note of every state that net takes more money from the fed than it gives in taxes
@Jokerfaic some of the states already have 3rd world style areas
Private militias are a practical joke compared to the global superiority of the US military as a whole.
exactly, and this ditzy cunt is playing out 1775 in his head
If states were independent countries, they would conquer each other, merge into East / Central / West, and ultimately form an abysmal union similar to the EU
Benjamin Franklin laying out his initial, not-shitty plan for unification, and state governments going "yeah no, we like decentralized power"
Federal mandates strengthen the US military, currency, and provide a Democratic Republic necessary for long-term prosperity.
based on a dogmatic fear and hatred of centralized government all because of British Parliament
So good fucking luck abolishing the Electoral college.
Democrats just salty they can't win with lackluster candidates and blame the system <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
I can't wait to see the cuck Biden picks as his VP
.... electoral college? I was talking about an effective national congress versus a confederation congress
^ True. Not a dog on a confederation congress. Both have their own merit to be honest.
cuz this brue dipshit outright said "I don't want an effective congress"
Did someone say currency?
Fuck let’s go full federal now
Abolish states
though come to think of it, having it be done on a state level at the same time wouldn't be a bad idea
We need a strong currency
...We kind of *already have* one of the strongest currencies
Congress in DC can deliberate on exclusively federal legislation or procedures, and state legislatures can do the same for their own jurisdictions
then it truly is a "national review day"
Honestly once a federal law is contradicted by the majority of states, the law should immediately come to a vote by state senators
I.E. Marijuana laws and similar legislation
or maybe to not clutter everything up, lets name a national review month. the beginning of the month, states hand their constituants a census for the state legislature, then a week later, one for the national legislature
Fuck those are some *optimistic* timelines
I want an even stronger currency
no, the census is to pick one act or law for that legislature to then spend an entire 24 hours reviewing
to be held at a much later date in the month
If you want a stronger currency, you need another war
bull fucking shit
Look at America's GDP during WWI and WWII
It's that or open a completely free market.
or actually bring jobs to the midwest
instead of completely lying about punishing those who send them away
people don't seem to understand, the equipment, facilities, shipping yards, factories, warehouses, those didn't fucking disappear
@Mersenne war is not good for the economy. It's an extrapolation of the Broken Window Fallacy
the jobs, as in physical tasks, are still all here
the only thing that's changed is who some dickhead in a suit is paying for it and where
@Benjamin Henry - That's a solid point. War is the catalyst for industrial revolution, albeit conflict must directly benefit the host nation for long-term yields.
