At the rate we are going, why bother to have states at all? The fed seems to be trying to take over everything under the guise that "everything is now interstate and international" and states are incompetent.
I would not be surprised to see a federally-supported initiative for states to merge for cost-effectiveness (the Dakotas are obvious, add Rhode Island to Connecticut, let NH merge with Maine, Idaho and Montana could be next, and so on). In time, they all merge until there is one. And then the President, the 545 in Congress, and the 9 SCOTUS justices run everything for the 300+ Million. Now, that's power! Even the old Politburo members would be impressed.
