No arguments here.
The problem is the Powers that Be (the crony capitalists, the unchecked federal bureaucracy, the media that roots for them, et al) will never allow that happen. Like Senator Palpatine told Anakin Skywalker, the thing that the powerful most fear is losing their power.
That’s why an Article V might be so effective. It pits state elites: state politicians, state bureaucrats, and powerful state business interests who would gain against their federal brethren. I think the local guys would win. We’d get rid of the 17th Amendment and states would take back a lot of power currently in the Feds hands.
