The solution to this problem is federalism, but we've drifted a ways from the balance of state and federal power that used to exist. Constituents don't care about where the things they want are coming from, and they will vote for the people who give them those things. The end result is a federal government that is ever increasing in size. It would take a massive civic education effort to fix this problem.
