    I think you are confused about the delineation between local and federal governments.

    I am not, I simply don’t believe the delineation is relevant since taxpayers fund both the state and federal budgets.

    Also, this feels like you are too capitalism-pilled

    This is me being “reasonable” and working within the constraints of the system. If we aren’t going to have free universal college et al then we can at least trade some of the bloated military budget for a public works program.

    People would seriously read through them for 1 day, and then they’d be like, “clear”, “clear”, “clear” without looking at half of them.

    Sounds to me like a 50% improvement over zero human eyes.

    It’s not like you’re gonna find and fund another group to review the first group’s work, after all.

    Why not? We could hire three teams to do it simultaneously in every state in the country and the cost would still be a tiny fraction of how much was wasted on the F-35 program.

      It certainly would be. Thankfully, there’s many more than zero human eyes involved in this.
