In other news, Wisconsin governor and Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker says virtually every government agency should be dissolved and handled by states.

"On transportation, education, health care, particularly Medicaid, environmental protection—I'd take all those powers, all those responsibilities in funding and send it back to the states, where it's more effective, more efficient and more accountable."

If by "more effective, more efficient and more accountable" what he really means is a total fucking catastrophe, I guess he's right.

Rick Perry just wanted to dismantle three federal agencies, although he couldn't name all three. Scott Walker wants to dismantle damn near all of them. States' Rights pandering is pathetic.

Meanwhile, fellow candidate Ted Cruz says the federal government has no business mandating family leave policy. He's purportedly real big on Family Values.
