One Size Fits All Federal Government Does Not Work...

and never has.

As we look at what the federal government has become in the last 40 or so years, one thing is plainly evident, the issues Georgia faces are the same exact issues that California faces. This is not the case, and we that have lived in several states know that each state is different. For example, education is a major issue in the south and a major accomplishment of the north. California is bankrupt while some states, even in this recession, still have surpluses in the bank. Most southern and southwestern states, as well as California, have severe illegal immigration issues, with the accompanying safety and public welfare burdens placed upon their systems.

Yet, despite these differences, the federal government still attempts to assert a one size fits all solution in every case. The simple fact of the matter is that while some issues handled by the federal government may be national in scope, the specific facts of each state vary from state to state. A national solution will inherently be inefficient and ineffective unless it is tailored specifically to the situation at hand. As we have seen, the federal government is neither willing nor able to relinquish any control or authority to the states.
