Interesting theory and I agree in concept, but I have lived in several states, some large, some small, and frankly they are not all that efficient or effective. Lots of cronyism, NIH, and frankly there really isn't much point in doing the same research, planning, administration 50 times.

I think it is too easy to over simplify the problems our government has to address, local state or nationsl.
I don't advocate a nation takeover, but state and local control is no panaccea either.
