This! ☝🏻 So many people have no idea that the civil war was about states rights and the South’s right to secede and start their own government. Slavery wasn’t the number one reason the South wanted to secede, but it was a great talking point and the North made sure that was the narrative that was fed to the masses and as usual, that’s the part that “prevailed” in the history books. I think the civil war was the catalyst that allowed too much federal overreach and the turning point in our history where the federal government became emboldened to get bigger than our founders ever intended it to be. IMHO. 🤷🏼♀️
The Federal government amassed power over a long period of time. It is like a cancer that only grows. It never shrinks unless it has portions cut out of it. It is time for some surgery. We have allowed too many institutions to form as new organizations within the Fed. We need to eliminate some and cut to the bone in some others and limit "mandates" and intrusive Regulations. All Government agencies should trim at least 50% of their employees. Keep only the most productive and useful employees who place their Oath to this country, to the People and to the Principles of what this country stands for first and foremost when they perform their duties. I say all of this as a Federal employee.
...Add to that cut 50% of the agencies, and I'd say it's a good start...
We have a saying in government service, "20% of the fed employees do 80% of the work, the other 80% do the remaining 20%" of course out of the remaining 80% some of them don't do any work at all. It makes me 😔, because we can't get rid of them. Government employees are the most protected working class in the world.
Any guesstimate how many of that 80% are working on things that the government isn't even supposed to be involved in? lol
It was a main talking point for confederate politicians too. Thats why Alexander Stephen's Cornerstone Speech was a hit.
It takes two sides to tango and southern politicians were as guilty as northerners for stoking the flames of war.
