Limited resource maximizing the price by the market selecting higher paying jobs to use it on.
IMHO we need Federalism. The States should be given an allotment of work visas. Let them decide how many and who to give them out to.
- merpnderp 7y agoFederalism would solve a lot of the country's problems.
- henvic 7y agoNo. Federalism creates most of the problems in the US: drug wars, invasions overseas, absurd military expending, reduced comparative advantages between states, the evil patents system, expensive medical care, etc. The more concentrated the state apparatus, the more powerful the government and the less free and poor the people are. -- correction: I meant centralized power, not federalism.
- hguant 7y agoI think you're misunderstanding what Federalism is. FEDERALISM is the decentralization of the state apparatus - the idea that instead of one massive central government, you reserve certain powers to for the individual local or regional governments (States, in the US parlance)...which is what I believe the comment you're replying to is calling for. The FEDERAL government is, in the US system, the massive central government, which is what I believe you're railing against.

- notafraudster 7y agoIt seems you think "federalism" means "the national [federal] government has all the power". This is a reasonable intuitive read of the word, but it's the exact opposite of what the word actually means, and your read doesn't make sense in context of the comment you are replying to. Federalism refers to a system where two or more levels of government share power with explicit powers granted to each: the opposite of concentrating the state apparatus.
- henvic 7y agooops! Sorry about that. I meant centralized power indeed, not federalism.
