I'm more inclined to believe that the Federal government needs to turn over more control to the individual states, and that congress is reaching too far over their boundaries.

Don't get me wrong, there are several things I think the government needs to do including managing the economy, maintaining military/ law enforcement just to name a few.

But then you have a congressional hearing about steroid use in baseball. We have government tell us what we can and can't do with our own property (cell phone unlocking, etc). And I think, is that what we pay these guys for? They can't even balance a budget because their scope is way too broad.

I agree that government needs to be downsized, just maybe in a different way.
