we are still better off doing them and taxing everyone because we all benefit.

Except the Federal government doesn't tax everyone to pay for it. The government adds more to the pile of debt.

Micro scale example: the (L&Ses) in Lansing have underfunded road maintenance, for years, to help cover more tax cuts for "JCs". The citizens of the township I live in, voted to tax themselves to help with road maintenance, even though the township is not really responsible for any of the roads, because no-one else was getting it done. What would most states do, if they couldn't fob the funding for beneficial programs off on the Federal government?
