It's a cultural thing.<br /><br />I think he's also trying to shift power from Washington D.C. to the rest of the country. This is the biggest source of the pushback he's getting, particularly from his own party. They like Big Government as long as they're in government.<br /><br />Whether he will be successful or not remains to be seen, but I do think this is his game. If he fails, what comes next will no doubt be worse - but maybe I just have too much of a case of the Weimar Blues.Borepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029434172945099693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-54783919204304488842017-10-10T10:08:52.061-04:002017-10-10T10:08:52.061-04:00Proud of that, aeh?
