I really like him. He should move the CFPB to Oklahoma. On a prairie somewhere. But first merge it back into the Treasury.

Or ...most of the stuff the federal government does should be given back to the states which would naturally decentralize it.

This is a good idea but it needs well thought out. I always felt de-centralizing the federal government would remove the concentration of lobbyists and money that corrupt politicians. It would also pose more of a problem for any enemy targeting us. My gut tells me that 50% of the federal workforce currently set in DC could be eliminated. The unions have always pushed for more workers, more money, more benefits. It became a monster that has grown out of hand. Cutting regulations, means we need less people, not more. The fewer this number, the smaller the deep state becomes. When you consider each state has a capital, each county has a seat of government, each city, township, borough has their own governmental offices. How much regulation and oversight do WE THE PEOPLE need? Far, far less than what we have. It's burdensome, wasteful and not what the founders had envisioned.

Consider too, that when our Senators and Congressmen leave their home turf and move to DC something happens. They lose touch with the people they serve. Temptation is placed before them at every turn to vote certain ways often contrary to the needs of the people they are supposed to serve. Politics should be mostly local and lobbyists should be outlawed. DC tends to insulate politicians from constituents while exposing them to forces outside their states. Maybe the current system worked better in 1776 when there were only a handful of states along the eastern seaboard with slow travel but it's not what we need today.

just call lobbying what it really is, bribery, and it is already illegal

They should be dispersed nationwide in small pieces and chunks to small towns and remote areas.

I have a buddy who's a retired colonel U.S.M.C., has been saying for years they needed to move all the brass out of Quantico and down to Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, NC.

He said it would get most of the politics out of the Marine corps.

The inability to fire for cause or corruption is the biggest problem facing the taxpayer, these people are lifers on the fed payroll, the largest employer in the world!
