I don't think any idea that puts more responsibility on centralized government is destined for great success until there are stronger movements to force the governments in question to behave pro-socially. As it stands in the U.S. the federal government spends much more than the biggest 50 companies in the world combined and the benefits we see from that are disgustingly small.

I would love to see people find ways to make centralized government a value add in our lives, but as it stands there are too many people who want to continue to pile onto there responsibility regardless of the outcomes.
