Private enterprise might have gotten to the Moon twenty or fifty years later, but by God once we got there, we would have stayed, and in another twenty years there would be cities. What do we have now, 35 years after the first landing? Private enterprise builds skyscrapers full of workers. States tend to build pyramids.

The glaringly obvious solution is to return the government to the people. Only the people can do that, though, by taking it back.

There are more ways to do that than by simply voting against every incumbent (do you support term limits?)

One other way might be to oppose attempts to take government activities that should be handled at a local level and make them part of the Federal government--something that should have been done fifty years ago. It's probably too late now. I'd bet two-thirds of Americans don't even know where their county seat is.

I don't see a lot of resistance to this centralization process on the part of either political party right now. I'm beginning to think the last real Republicans in government were those who came up with the Contract With America. That didn't get far.
