Lobbies/special interests are expensive and need money to prosper and maintain loyalty. Money is the " mother's milk" of politics. Tribes are a hybrid. They run best on personal/familial/regional relationships with barter as a medium of exchange. But they also can run on money . In our adaptive Darwinian world, the the tribes that run on relationships rather than money will last longer.
If we want to rein in Washington's imperial arrogance, the states must assert their hybrid vigor. Bring home the taxes, the legislative power and the troops.
