Abstract
This Comment first offers reactions to Ann Althouse's paper and then argues that federal jurisdiction scholars and commentators have ignored the extent to which federalism is a regional issue. The federal government owns such a high percentage of the land mass in every western state that westerners experience the federal government in profoundly different ways than easterners. While the mythology of the American West stands for rugged individualism, self-reliance, and independence, the reality reveals economic activities undertaken at the encouragement and inducement of the federal government. This federal presence has engendered in many westerners a love-hate attitude toward the federal government, which can be summed up as: "Get out! And give us more money."
