I know this is a pipe dream, but if we could find a way for our federally elected respresentatives (and Senators) to focus on affairs at the federal level, with universal benefit for all all americans, rather than what they can "bring home" to their state/constituencies, it would go a long way toward solving these problems.<br> Yes, there should be a litmus test, and rather than pork projects and state and local agendas finding their way into federal appropriations bills, I would even favor a "fair spend" or taxpayer dollars on a prorata basis to states to spend on what the state legislatures deem most important for their communities.
