Too many cesspool turds of the deep state, intelligence has been given way too much fkn power n endless funds. I applaud Grassley for protecting whistleblowers but he seems to have forgotten to protect them as they have to fight the alphabet cartel n end up broke. Corruption would have never gotten so deep had they not been given an endless amount of tax dollars to fight against whistleblowers. They are too scared to step up, might end up on the Clinton body count list or broke, never able to recover n name slandered so bad they end up unemployed indefinitely.

Since the very beginning of the United States, the federal government has been slowly gaining power. The original idea of loosely connected states under the Articles of Confederation is pretty much gone now, which itself may not be a bad thing. Yet since that switch to a stronger federal government, we have seen nothing but expansion of the government’s power. The Civil War would remove the power of States to directly oppose the government, which is at least somewhat justifiable given the situation. After that, progressive leaders, such as Theodore Roosevelt, would begin limiting big business. The final straw, in my opinion, was FDR. This is the point when executive orders became a standard form of lawmaking. He was able to pack the Supreme Court with his supporters, expand public works immensely, and all the while retained popular support. From then on, the president was in not the symbolic leader he was before. As we entered the Second World War, he became a global authority.

Yes, the entire federal government has too much power. The founders wisely and purposely created a subordinate federal government and gave it only specific enumerated powers while retaining all other powers for the states and the people.
Unfortunately with too many regressive leftist changes, the federal government now has too much power.
