Oh, I don't disagree about that. However, with a federal republic, the notion is that the power is broken up more, and is therefore less susceptible to the populace voting for themselves more money. That was something the founders knew would be a problem, and made many statements against.
Unfortunately, it seems that they were totally right on how it was to play out when we could vote more money for ourselves, in the way of social programs.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
