OF COURSE THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT AMERICANS DO NOT HAVE NATIONAL POLICIES FOR NATIONAL ISSUES...
LIKE HEALTH CARE AND INDUSTRIAL POLICY AND HIGHER EDUCATION AND BASIC RESEARCH...
THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT HAS AN INCREASING ROLE IN A WORLD THAT IS NO LONGER REGIONAL AND LOCAL...
REMEMBER "THE STATES" WERE CONCEIVED OF IN THE DAYS OF THE HORSE AND BUGGY...WHERE 100 MILES WAS A LONG WAY TO TRAVEL IN ONE DAY... THE ECONOMY WAS LOCAL...OR AT MOST REGIONAL...
NOT DEFINITELY NOT NATIONAL...NOT TO MENTION GLOBAL!!
SO THE ROLE OF THE STATES IN THE "GLOBAL INTERNET AGE" NEEDS TO BE REDEFINED...
AND THE OLDER NOTION OF "STATES RIGHTS" NEEDS TO BE SERIOUSLY REVIEWED IN AN AMERICA THAT IS NO LONGER PRE-CIVIL WAR...SLAVE STATES VERUS FREE STATES...
SO PERHAPS.... "GOVERNMENTAL RE-STRUCTURING" IS IMPORTANT...
MAYBE PURE GREED ON WALL STREET WAS NOT THE SOLE CAUSE OF OUR CURRENT DEPRESSION...
NATIONAL SOLUTIONS TO NATIONAL PROBLEMS SEEMS TO BE THE ANSWER.
