I'm speaking in generalities, of course, and I thought that was relatively obvious.
However, the blackmail issue isn't simply an issue of "states paying their own way". The feds over tax citizens, take the money and use the money to blackmail the states. If the feds didn't collect those taxes and left them to the states to collect, rather than taking the money that should belong to the states and using it as leverage to force a certain course of action, then there would not be this issue.
