I agree with you, but I'd say that's more a defect in the US Constitution that permits one state to plunder another. If the federal government were not allowed to redistribute wealth from California to Kansas (or vice-versa depending on your politics) then the issue would be moot because foolish people with their hands out would be there all day with no power to act on it.
Actually, are you saying that doing away with the federal system altogether is the only sane approach (or letting it fail and not re-instantiating it)? If so, I think I agree

I don't know about "only sane", but I expect it to happen. Conglomeration is probably inevitable, in fact if not name, with the federal government assuming more and more of those roles just because of the economies of scale.
