Batson D Belfry, like most politicians and many citizens, continues to demonstrate his unfamiliarity with the construct of our nation. The STATES CREATED THE FEDERAL government. Not the other way around. The states could dissolve the Federal government, That would save a lot of money and restore lots of freedom. Then we can rebuild it based on the US constitution. Start over.
Instead I would suggest in order to Reduce the Deficit and Balance the Federal Budget We START by Eliminating 46 Wasteful and Unneeded Federal Departments and Then Move on to Eliminating All the Ridiculous Government " Retirement " Perks for some of the Wealthiest People In this Country and Continue from there. Help the People that Make This Country Instead. I seem to remember something saying " We The People ! Not We The Government !" I could go on. You All Be Safe and Have a Great Day !

Pennsylvania has been closed for repairs for years anyway. (Only one lane is ever open)

Offer to sell Alaska to Canada, the Canadians will be too polite to refuse.

Ironically, just yesterday I wondered how the heck we, the U.S., can afford the interest on our national debt.

Last time I looked we had 50 states, one district and one territory. Don’t see how dropping 46 does it.

Tho not a state, close Washington D.C.; however, never close California or Hawaii.

It’s already in the works. It’s called getting rid of the Electoral College.

Won’t work. Closing a state reduces income but congress would never reduce spending since their re-election depends on it.

Close 46 states? Is the senator getting ahead of himself there? The comic strip was 2019 not 2020!
