I've yet to hear a libertarian successfully defend the notion that the "state" could run government better than the feds (outside of "but the framers wanted it that way!")
I live in Ohio, and our state government is a joke. They were billions over budget this year and went right to slashing things like education and libraries first (while ever championing adding casinos).
If you want the states to run/fund all this stuff, expect your state income tax to skyrocket (while your federal taxes, I imagine, stay the same).
