Less money back to the states, and more money for the Federal Warfare/Welfare Machine. Sounds like a great Idea.
I think it's less than certain that any potential changes to budget and earmark policy will have that effect. If Obama makes the budget truly more transparent, I would think/hope you will see less total money for both of those things. Less total money to the federal govt. altogether. Most states already have state taxes, and federal tax money going to states tends to be spent somewhat frivolously since it is perceived as 'free' money.
