Unfortunately, that's a big caveat. If only the US worked as it was originally intended: States hold most of the power, the Federal government only controls some very specific and limited aspects. Most people couldn't even name 2 representatives in Congress from their state, let alone members of the state legislature. But, boy oh boy, do they know and care about the POTUS' every move. I fail to see how everyone, regardless of their 'side', wouldn't be better off by shrinking the size of the Fed gov by half and reallocating at least that much in total taxes paid to the State instead.
