Yes, I realize the above proposal will never happen and I am also aware it is not perfect ... but I am just so SICK of both sides crowing that their policies would save America if only the other side wasn't working against them.
Just because one state has a need that another doesn't, should not effect the whole country.
Quoting _Kissy_:
Get rid of the central gov. Give each state their own. people in Utah shouldn't vote on something thats going on in California. Each state gets their own president and deals directly with their state.

ummm that is called being your own country....It would be Yugoslavia all over again.

That are governed by the central / federal government ...that have the welfare of all at heart (ok I laughed whilst typing that) To implement the basic rights of the whole. If Utah wanted to have its own say...then they could mandate that everyone become Mormons. It is not beneficial to the whole country that that occurs so a federal government is there to protect those who dont want to become a Mormon.

Its called states rights.

I'm actually not totally against what you said because I feel the same!
The abuse of the filibuster is just ridiculous. They don't let things pass and yet blame the leaders for not doing anything right.. and do not bring their own ideas in.. or those ideas get shot down too. It goes absolutely nowhere.
At this point, it's really difficult to get any worse.. but I imagine the parties would argue for the next 10 years about who should get control first. lol.
I don't agree with allowing individual states to do their thing because even people within a state are different... it would force people to move to other states, which would divide our country even more than it already is..
I realised this was a hypothetical scenario...but local elections determines the leaders and decisions made up the ladder, everyones local government is different, how does it work at that level. If the republicans get in, does that mean all locally elected members are made republican?
If so...then its a dictatorship pure and simple.
Quoting LoveMyBoyK:
No, it would have safeguards in place to ensure the Constitution was not changed and in no way could either party declare continued power. And the idea would be for Americans to all be behind it so we would still be the ones electing our leaders. But if you are fine with neither party being able to accomplish jack shit becaise they ateboth convinced their way is best and refuse to compromise, that is fine. AS SAID, I am aware it would never happen.
