I'm not! The nice thing about states is there are so many of them, and it's pretty easy to move state. Also as an American you have a right to live in any state you choose. None of these things are true at the national level. I'm all for states experimenting with socialism or any other policy (eg. abortion rights), since these experiments are relatively safe (people can and will just relocate) and cheap (changing policy is easier on a small scale). That's the beauty of the American (eco)system. Government is fundamentally a local concern. What I am vehemently against is the federal government having any sort of broad authority in this regard.
