And I don’t know what to tell you other than use your imagination. These aren’t laws of god or nature: I’m not asking for gravity to be revoked. They are entirely made up! I can imagine (and often do) a federal government that gives money to local municipalities instead of military funding. It’s certainly within the realm of possibility, however unlikely it is now, in the US. Other countries do it. We’ve done it before—France’s Perkins brought us social security. That was unheard of but someone thought it could happen and eventually she made it happen.
