Would we be better off, if...?

I'm down with every state governing itself.

We tried that already. It only lasted about 15 years.

There are so many problems with confederacies, there's a reason why you don't see them anymore.

Ahaha. No but really, Most states really do run themselves now-a-days, the State just have to basically ask for permission for almost everything through the big chiefs in Congress.

Federal Law is superior to State Law. States only run themselves within the boundaries that Federal Law allows.

They've always run themselves, under the supervision of the Federal Government. Could you imagine if half of the US decided that they didn't really want to get involved in WW2 because they didn't feel justified or simply didn't want to get their boys killed?

A Confederacy has a very loose and powerless central government, largely a glorified Polling House for seperate sovereign nations, which is what the states would be.

I'm not down with that at all.
