I am not understanding you too well. The U.S IS a union, and already experimented with economic confederacies in its conception. Unless you mean if the U.S became less united? I can agree with that. States being bailed out by each other is already a huge problem, and the federal state is the behemoth of them all when it comes to these spending issues.

Besides the United States which is controlled by the federal government. I mean a union of countries.

There essentially is very little difference between the EU and the United States of America (circa 1790.) If the EU doesn't separate within 200 years it would probably look much like the United States of America, a "federation of Europe." So essentially what you seem to be asking is for the U.S to go back to confederacy(essentially what Europe is now) - which might not be such a bad idea. Allow membership to be voluntary and conditional and many problems will be fixed.
