Restore self-government by handing debt power to states | Blaze Media

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : Returning financial control to states would reduce federal dominance, give voters a greater voice, and align public spending with community priorities.
44% : States and local governments have lost influence because they collect only $3.5 trillion in revenue combined, while the federal government collects $5 trillion in one central pot.
43% : This approach wouldn't delegate Congress' appropriations authority to the states but would instead impose a self-restraint, limiting federal spending without state approval to raise the cap.
33% : Donald Trump last week shocked Congress by demanding that the debt limit either be abolished or at least suspended during his presidency -- a stance typically championed by Democrats.
