Well, what must the politicians be accountable for? The issue with giving a government more power is that it puts a lot of responsibilities on a select few, who, in the end might not be as efficient nor as concerned as the general populace. Federalism works quite well because it separates powers, as allowed by the people, to be given to the states and the federal system. The states have powers that are more consequential to individual life, and hence are more accountable to the people. The federal government has power to enable the states to work together effectively and responsibly, and has the power to enact international relations. However; ultimately, the people responsible for most aspects of law and responsibility are those not part of the formal governments. If they want change on a matter they should decide that it is necessary and bring it up to their local government or state government, only if they can't change things themselves. Society is responsible for much of the topics addressed in our political systems, and society is not the same thing as the state nor the federation. Society is the decision and governance of the people over themselves and the decision to cooperatively work towards a goal, only by freedom of choice and not by demand or force. If they haven't got the resources, then they can do two things: allocate the resources, or more efficiently and realistically implement their ideas. Taking the resources from others, via massive taxes or some other means, is not a solution because it implies inefficiency or selfishness.
