no, but the electoral college should be fixed. how the fukk does Wyoming has the same number of senate seats as California while having a fraction of California's population?

They absolutely should. But, it would ultimately cause a huge shytstorm with the argument of “states rights”

If your state is basically depending on big govt to foot the bill, then there needs to be firings from the top down. Threaten those Congressmen and Senators, maybe that could cause some change.

All that borrowing shoes is that the state is being ran poorly, ie southern states.

Or maybe some states need to merge. This goes for towns and cities as well. Hoboken, NJ for example. This should NOT be a city. But it is. With a police department and every other municipality. For a city that’s only 2 square miles.

founding fathers also thought black people were 3/5 th of a person and slavery not so bad. a state that has less than 600k people is having same senatorial power as 40 million state.

But there were only 13 states and 2.5 million people at the time.
