States Rights

[Baron2024]

I had an idea that States controlled by Dem Governors and Legislatures (California, Michigan, New York, etc.) should demand their citizen's tax dollars back so that the States can fund programs and services that Trump is going to cut. For example, the cuts to CDC and NIH could be offset by expanding funding in the State's Department of Health. Former CDC and NIH workers could be offered positions in the expanded State Department of Health. Dems in Congress could propose a Bill to return federal taxes to the States in the form of a block grant. It would not get anywhere in a MAGA controlled House, but it would make a good story in the Media War that Trump and MAGA are ripping off Taxpayers in Blue States. Which is the truth.

2. It is true. But we need votes in red and swing states for mid-terms and 2028.

Hell, they’d probably gain votes in red and swing states if they thought trump hurting blue states.

3. Red States And Swing States

It is a good point but we could also encourage money be returned to Red States and Swing States as well. As long as we get our money back in Blue States, it is fine for Red States and Swing States get theirs too. Then some of the money would be back in our hands and Governors like Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer could use that money to increase State services to compensate for Federal cuts.
