It’s mind-numblingly simple: What you suggest was tried and failed while the founding fathers were still around! No need to raise hypotheticals on this one.
I realize that RON PAUL and his supporters like to forget that this state autonomy idea was tried and failed, but I don’t think the founding fathers would since they were mostly all able to witness the failure and take a part in trying to come up with something better.
Unless you think that a bunch of intelligent, educated, thoughtful men would suddenly act real unintelligent, uneducated and thoughtless by trying out something that they already knew first-hand had failed.
