Blue State Alliance

State Legislatures should pass laws demanding the return of their citizen's federal income tax dollars. If Trump is going to cut federal agencies and federal programs, it is incumbent on the states to demand that revenue back and to establish state level programs that substitute for the federal programs that Trump and his MAGA Gang in Congress intend to cut. Blue State Governors, State Attorneys General, Democratic State Legislatures, and Democrats in Congress should all coordinate with each other to try and establish this kind of policy across the nation.

If Trump intends to destroy the federal government and withhold federal money from Blue States, then these States should act to protect themselves and their citizens. They should have their federal tax dollars returned to them and those States in turn could use those monies to protect those citizens that will suffer due to the loss of federal programs. Blue States should demand Federal Block Grants to get our money back. Congress should try to help, even if controlled by Congress. A Democratic Bill in Congress to return State's money might not pass, but it would raise attention to the issue and be good for optics.
