    For real. Imagine successful infrastructure and social welfare programs being carried out at the city level, with little or no involvement or oversight from the state or federal governments.

    Decentralization is what Republicans claim to be all about. Of course it’s a bullshit claim.

      Small government only when the conservatives institute Christianity in school, ban abortion and sexual education and rob their constituents of everything they have.

      Big government when conservatives need to oppress minorities, fight wars in the Middle East and deport people.
