Federalism is the return of power to the States, which was originally
an
anti-federalist initiative. Jefferson dubbed the anti-federalists
"republicans" and then formed the Democratic Republican Party.
Federalists
(libertarins) did not want State fifedoms and opposed the Bill of
Rights.

And so we have the basket case of the USA, 50th in the great majority
of categories, Alabama, the spark plug for a lot of the USG's
mandates. I've been down there a couple times in December and guess
what? The state didn't have enough money to pay their teachers - both
times! - and Christmas was coming up.
California's now working on joining Alabama.

What???! It might get *worse*?!

If the recall fails California may as well be flushed. Consider, when Davis
came to power California was the world's 5th largest economy and with the
Clinton bubble, California moved to the fourth largest economy, by last
Febuary California had fallen to 7th place. The State is in free fall and
the Silicon Valley may just be made into a park.
