Federal Fraternity of Fraud

"When all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." -- Thomas Jefferson

Prof. William Black at Occupy LA.  Bill Black led thousands of fraud prosecutions during the S&L Crisis.  Since then, the federal government has centralized all power to Washington and, at best, looked the other way while massive fraud has been perpetrated.  The purpose of government is to protect life, liberty and property, including from fraud.  However, the benefit to fund national campaigns is too great to bite the hand that is feeding the DC excess and centralization.  

However, the answer is not anarchy or socialism as many of the Occupy Crowd seek.  It is decentralization to our original unprecedented system of government.  This is precisely why "it must be the states themselves, erecting such barriers at the constitutional line as cannot be surmounted."  Thomas Jefferson

Isn't it naive to believe/hope that Washington will solve "The Washington Problem"?
