Block grants are bad.
I would prefer non-corporate tax cuts focusing on the middle class. This would also help us balance the federal budget.
I like national parks. They are one of the few things I don't mind paying taxes for. Most of the federal budget does not go to national parks.
I also live in a state that has really good state parks. Well-run, widely available, well-maintained. Hopefully we can have states help pick up the slack if there are challenges with the NPS.
You can't lump NHS in with those. I do not like public health care.
I did not put "woke" in there. I don't like the "wrapper" language. I do like some of the content.
I do not think trump in office is a good thing. I just think harris is a bad thing. Since roosevelt we have been stuck on a leftward ratchet. Liberals take office and change things. Conservatives take power and fail to reverse them.
Trump is not much of a conservative. I do think he can at least promote some reversal of the social parts. I don't care much about the social parts. But I do hope that sets a precedent for someone to reverse the practical economic parts.
- UncleMeat 1y agoTax cuts would let us balance the budget? What? You like national parks and see no problem with funding it with taxes. But then why is it bad when the rest of us like other things that the federal government does? Elsewhere you talk about federalism concerns but you completely ignore them here. Why is that?
- landl0rd 1y agoProperty clause: “ The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States” In other words it’s not commerce/elastic clause bullshit. If you really care about the NPS and think it’s an overreach we could move management of parks back to states. I don’t strongly object to that.
