Where does a state do a better job than the federal government then? Clearly states still have responsibilities that the federal government doesn't have. What is it about the state's current responsibilities that make them better handled at the state level than the federal level. It seems to me that with the reasoning above, any governing can best be handled and should be handled by the federal government. Then why keep the state government at all?
