I've been thinking about this some lately, and likely there is a specific name for it. Essentially inflation has been trickling down over the course of decades. Everything is becoming too expensive without federal funds.

State budget infrastructure too expensive, need federal funds for roads. Education too expensive, need federal funds Health care too expensive Rents Food

Eventually everything and everybody is receiving federal funds, then everyone is under the control. See how healthcare workers were forced to take the vax because of federal funding.
