Is the Federal Government even necessary ?

[UndertheOcean]

Is there really a need to maintain such a behemoth, really a monstrous concentration of power ...

Imaging all those resources utilized locally , within 50 independent states ..... I would even call for abandoning that model also and going back to City states , I would prefer enlightened ones.


I am not an Anarchist , more of a pragmatist ..... so the above are just musings.

2. Yes, the government is necessary
