<em><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: larger;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;The disintegration of federalism has brought us boondoggle after boondoggle by the federal government. It has foisted a slow academic progression and a teach-to-the-test mentality on America&rsquo;s schools. It dictates to the states how to evaluate children and teachers. It burdens American business with draconian regulations. It denies western states their full sovereignty, preventing them from developing their natural resources while it gives a leg-up to foreign producers and a slap down to the American consumer. And its centrally driven healthcare system drives physicians out of the profession and jacks up consumers&rsquo; costs.&rdquo;</span></span></em><br />
