Economy of scale, consolidation and centralization: each has value but at some point, the law of diminishing returns enters the picture. Fragmentation increases costs but allows the most freedom. The goal should be to find a way to allow the most freedom while realizing the benefits of some kind of cooperation between or among people, groups, cities and states. Going to extremes will backfire when autonomy of the members is threatened.
We are witnessing the most threatening assault upon the rights of states to determine, without outside intervention, where their interests lie. The massive power grab of our central government is a trend toward total federal domination which sees itself above the will of the people and the courts. Sounds like Egypt but it is us, the USA. The window has been opened wide now that the election is over. No president has ever before had, or asked for, the unlimited right to increase our debt ceiling without congressional approval. The frightening thing here is that it reveals the dangerous arrogance of our president. One liberal anchor man even suggested that the President should run businesses.
It seems by now that a plan is in place to deliberately weaken or destroy our country. What before seemed simply bad policy from an inexperienced President, now is beginning to unfold as a deliberate attempt to cripple our economy and develop a dependency society, and ending in a socialist state. All the excessive spending has been to ensure that once we hit bottom, we can never recover what we had.
Without ever passing a budget, we have managed to spend 6 TRILLION dollars in the past four years. By the time he has finished the next four years, at this rate our debt will exceed 22 TRILLION dollars. With a declining credit rating and a rising debt, we will barely be able to pay the interest.
