@RegalBeagle @sickburnbro > Maybe our checks and balances worked before everyone was on welfare and the fed debased the currency, but these days states fall in line after their federal funding gets threatened. Even the states are on welfare now.

agree. people think the fbi or military keep us in line, but really cancelled grants and frozen bank accounts are more than enough to keep state & local govts from getting too uppity

also many of the checks and balances that had originally been put in place have been removed
