It’s government shutdown season in the U.S. once again.

Whatever side we’re on, we’re united in agreement that democracy doesn’t seem to be working for us.

We deserve better. We’ve done better.

This is not meant to be a political post. I refuse to whine, blame, or take sides. Democracy is the worst form of government—except for all the others.

One way or another, I’m confident we’ll eventually figure it out and end up with something that works for us. Until it doesn’t again.

Perhaps one way to help us move forward is to fall back in time and seek examples of how federal, state, and local governments have cooperated for the long-term benefit of both free markets and free citizens.

I’ve done my own research and have the proof! You can see it, too, next time you turn your car onto the highway.
