Some select quotes:

- "Federalism, often described as one of the great strengths of the American system, has become a serious impediment to reversing the downturn."

- "Even more important, federalism is getting in the way of the creation of a “smart” American power grid."

- "It’s a global economy. It would be helpful to have a genuinely national government."
