Then how in hell can you make your argument? We still haven't discovered life on other planets... 190, combined with the fact that the factor where measuring is VERY different in different countries gives us some real data. It would be better to have a much bigger sample, but it isn't possible. If the states don't vary much, why do you and yours (RW)always make reference to red and blue states? I normally don't, except when replying to someone else making a point based on that concept. Also I didn't say they don't vary much, but that they don't very on this factor (level of government intervention) nearly as much as different countries do. Do you mean red states have as much government as blue? Generally not, but the difference is much smaller than the difference between countries. Also they all share the same federal government. why allow 50 bunches of politicians distribute the money after the government has distributed it If your talking about the feds taxing away money, then giving it to the state governments then you make a decent point. If your not talking about that could you reword your statement. Why have 50 bureaucracies instead of just one.... 1 - Are your looking for the elimination of states? If not there would still be the state government bureaucracies. 2 - A benefit of having 50 different state governments is that you have 50 different ways to try things, other states can look to what works if they think the success will transfer well. You also have governments that can respond better to local opinions, conditions and concerns, rather than trying to impose a one side fits all solution for every state. There are some issues where it works out better to have one solution for the nation, but subsidiarity definitely has a place.
