I'm suggesting that there are two groups that would stand in the way of such legislation, the proponents of state rights and those that are profiting from the situation. I'm not suggesting these are the same people.

Most fiscal conservatives are also strong proponents of state sovereignty. The federal government gaining any control over the state's budgets would be opposed by most conservatives without a second thought. Frankly, I'm surprised you even mentioned it.
