Federal Grants to State and Local Governments: A Historical Perspective on Contemporary Issues [June 22, 2017]
"Over the years, the federal intergovernmental system of governance has been characterized by many as becoming increasingly centralized and coercive, with the federal government using federal grants, federal mandates, and federal preemption of state authority to expand its influence in many policy areas previously viewed as being primarily state and local government responsibilities. In FY2018, the federal government is expected to provide state and local governments more than $703 billion in federal grants encompassing a wide range of public policy areas, such as health care, transportation, income security, education, job training, social services, community development, and environmental protection. Federal grants account for just under one-third of total state government funding, and more than half of state government funding for health care and public assistance."

Federal Grants to State and Local Governments: A Historical Perspective on Contemporary Issues [March 5, 2015]
"The federal government is expected to provide state and local governments more than $628 billion in federal grants in FY2015, funding a wide range of public policies, such as health care, transportation, income security, education, job training, social services, community development, and environmental protection. Federal grants account for about one-third of total state government funding, and more than half of state government funding for health care and public assistance. Congressional interest in federal grants to state and local governments has always been high given the central role Congress has in determining the scope and nature of the federal grant-in-aid system, the amount of funding involved, and disagreements over the appropriate role of the federal government in domestic policy generally and in its relationship with state and local governments."
