One of the unfortunate side effects of significantly reducing the power of democratically elected governments is that while the government has less power to do damage, it also less power to correct wrongs.
- donw 7y agoI think it's a pretty far stretch to say that the power of the Federal government has been "significantly reduced" in the past hundred years or so. Happy to hear a good counter-argument, though...?
