- iudqnolq 4y agoWhich enabled a higher level of regional and local tyranny. Edit: The last example I gave up top illustrates the problem. Every iteration of the US government has had local law enforcement. They've always been able to abuse their power, but greater centralized government power has brought about some limited accountability. I agree the national government should be shrinked a bit, but increasing the state and local government is the wrong way to go. Sub-national government should be shrinked an order of magnitude more than the national government.
