We aren't totally helpless in this morass created by our federal government. Their lack of cohesion, paralysis created by both parties, bickering, posturing and pontificating can be and should be overridden by individual states.
New Mexico's idea of moving money out of big banks and placing it in community banks and credit unions is a step in the right direction. Other states have provided health care for residents. Others have worked to create jobs for its citizens.
If the Federal Government and our legislators are so over run by lobbyists, so polarized , and so weak they are unwilling to take a stand on any issue, states need to step up to the plate. Democracy in the United States was created with many levels to provide autonomy and opportunity.
Let's seek alternative methods to deal with credit ripoffs, bank monopolies, price fixing and job loss.
States can do it. Show courage-United States of America.
Don't let your citizens down.
Seek out your best and brightest to solve these issues.
