The book will propose a single reform (the elimination of all
federal grants to state and local governments) that, if adopted,
will have a profound across-the-board impact on how we govern
ourselves and reduce federal spending by over $600 billion a year.
The proliferation of federal grants-in-aid programs is of recent
vintage - around 100 of them pre-Lyndon Johnson and now over 1,100
of them. Eliminating those to the states will result in enormous
savings in federal and state administrative costs, free the states
to set their own priorities; and by eliminating the federal
regulations that attend the grants, achieve improvements in the
design and implementation of the programs now subsidized by
Washington. In short, it will free the states and their
subdivisions to resume full responsibility for all activities that
fall within their competence, such as education, welfare, the
construction and maintenance of highways, etc. And because members
of Congress currently spend major portions of their time in the
creation of the grants and in allocating the money assigned to them
(think earmarks), their elimination will enable Congress to devote
its full time to responsibilities that are uniquely national in
character.
