i also think that the feds need to start getting out of a lot of the social program business, and return that to the states. the fed should be managing defense, foreign dealings, interstate commerce.
health care, ss, etc should be state handled. time after time throughout history, man has seen what happens when you have a far-away seat of govt handling the peoples' business. the further away geographically, the higher the anarchy and fraud. witness california and their high medicaid/care/medical fraud. it's in the billions of dollars. instead of all 50 states sending trillions to the feds to return as they see fit, that money should remain in each state, and handled by each states local offices. arkids for example is a better run program for kids here than the fed program, and that's because it's handled here. each state knows it's citizens needs, and can handle it on a local and regional level. keep the tax dollars local-that reduces waste, fraud, budgets.
