@pluralistic If the federal government did its job as enumerated in the constitution instead of trying to do everyone else's job, then cities would have a lot more resources available to do good things without having to beg the federal government for some of their money back.
If communities had to balance their own budgets, then the unimaginable suffering that all Americans will face imminently when interest rates inevitably revert to the mean could have been avoided. Instead everyone treated the federal balance sheet as something somewhere else nobody needed to worry about.
More tax dollars than not will soon be going to wall street bankers. It won't be because of some plot by said bankers, it's going to be because people assumed the federal government could be all things to all people and nobody was ever going to have to pay for it.
