The Federalist Solution

Jonah Goldberg talks about how the solution isn't to push the Federal government Left or Right, but rather disempowering it in favor of localities:
Pushing government decisions down to the lowest democratic level possible — while protecting basic civil rights — guarantees that more people will have a say in how they live their lives. Not only does that mean more people will be happy, but the moral legitimacy of political decisions will be greater.
