That was a point of our Constitution. States were "laboratories of Democracy" - they could experiment with different ideas. If it failed (as most will), people were free to move out until that state fixed it's FU. If something was a blazing success, it could be replicated. Not by the federal government (as big government twits immediately presume), but by other states as each independently decided it was a good idea - even tweaking the idea as required to improve the plan or custom fit it. A weak central government with individual states and local governments doing the "heavy lifting" allowed free market principles to create efficient government. Or make it more efficient, anyway.
It is interesting how liberals are always arrayed against Big Oil, Big Tobacco, Big Microsoft, Big Pharma, Big McDonald's, Big WalMart, etc. but absolutely and unconditionally love the biggest monopoly that has ever existed on the face of the Earth. One that keeps on getting bigger. One that kills people right and left, steals from everyone - even the unborn - and has defined new levels of cronyism and corruption. There's no monopoly so just plain bad as Big Government, yet the left just adores it.
