Washington, D.C., will fail us. When it does, the states will determine which Americans prosper and which stagnate. Will Ohio be ready for that competition?
Right on, Matt! And given how grossly our elected officials have acquiesced , isn't it time to include the states' right to amend the U.S. Constitution? What's wrong with an "all of the above" effort to rebalance the power and jurisdiction of our government? #ArticleV
Well written. I would add that the USA fully for the first roughly 150 years of its existence and the less so but still substantially for the next roughly 40 years after that, didn’t just have federalism in the political sphere, it also had federalism in the economic and scientific spheres (the latter didn’t make it as far), and that the federal regulation of commerce did not, for most of America’s existence, attempt to eliminate all forms of state/local trade inhibitors, it just stepped in to make sure they were not too strong so that there would competition.
Ohio could make a bold step toward federalism by calling for an Article V Convention of States. COS Action has gotten 19 States to call for a Convention to address Term Limits for congress and the swamp, Fiscal Accountability, and limiting the size and jurisdiction of the federal Government. As usual, the Ohio legislature is too weak to even call the vote.
