No doubt the schools are not the greatest but much of that is due to being in a mostly rural area.  Its funny but it sounds like the local government where you lived was pretty good compared to other areas.  I think you get the jist of my desire for less federal government and more local control.  Provides you with greater options to escape (and hence punish) poorly performing government.  There is just  no way to escape the federal government outside of leaving the country.  That in and of itself argues for smaller federal government. 

I have no doubt there is a lot of dysfunctional local government.  Just look at the mess of any large city run by a Democrat (ie, Detroit, Atlanta, DC, LA, San Fran, etc.) and you will see that they are not close to perfect.  But the key is like me, pretty much anyone can choose to live outside of those cities in areas that are better run.  That they don't is a testament to their decision making, but they still have that option.
