I'm all for the government directly employing unskilled labor to work on infrastructure projects. But following on the heels of the great depression, anything could have been called a great success.

How many more new deals can we have before income tax is 80% and the middle class is entirely dead? The Federal Reserve failed their mission, the New Deal failed their mission, big government is not the answer.

I favor decentralized strong states. The federal government was framed with a very limited set of responsibilities for a reason.

Thanks for the answer. (No need to respond to this additional point, below.)

Perhaps we could start a political movement that would pressure the US Government into allowing Texas secede.

But seriously, smaller government means less regulation for all of benefits of our quality of life. As has been shown, states will abuse their populations mercilessly, because of the corrupt systems already in place in many states.
