All this stupidity of giving most of our money to the feds and then having states and cities beg for block grants to get our money back is the major reason why power is being more and more centralized.
I do agree with who_would_fardels_bear though.
Sending all our money to DC where they burn through 25% pushing paper around only to return it to the states in block grants is terrible on every level.
Just another reason we need term limits.
