I have no problem with state's competing for jobs, and doing what they need to do to atrract business.

I'm just saying that it's not necessarily a cure all to have state and local governments calling the shots. The state and local governments are only as good as the people running them, and if they are inclined to play it straight and not be on the take. There is a lot of graf and corruption at the local and state levels. Do you remember the guy who was feeding the prisoners baloney three times a day, because he got to keep any money he got from the state for maintaining prisoners. Now, I'm sure that rule was enacted to encourage efficient practices and to reward those that managed well. And while I'm not especially concerned about prisoners (defineately not a bleeding heart liberal on that issue), what the guy did was gross mismanagement.

My only point is that it doesn't necessarily get better when you offload everything to the state, county and city government. Just because you can get elected doesn't mean you can manage, whether you are a member of Congress, the President or some local mayor.

And you can't always move.
