I find this to be a legitimately interesting idea, though it's not so much a new idea as a policy goal. The federal government is already very much spread out in some areas (courts, prisons, military bases), but it could be radically much more decentralized in a way that would not just save money but also do some legit good for some places.

Do you have more details to this? The article is behind the WSJ paywall. I'm going to assume the article is focusing on the concept of moving the offices of Federal agencies out of Washington and to other cities around the country, thinking it will reduce costs and lessen bureaucracy? Interesting idea, just not sure how it would change anything. The problem isn't location, its States not recognizing federal management of resources, and then federation being poorly implemented. Americans don't trust government because it doesn't work. It doesn't work because they don't understand how federated services are supposed to work. They can play three card monty and move stuff around, but the base problem still exists.
