End all the Federal subsides going to states and let the liberal states tax themselves to support all their gimme-crat giveaways.

You would soon see the RATS lose elections if they had to tax all their welfare leech voters to pay for everything they want.

Each year, the federal government gives about $350 billion to state, county, and city governments. About a year ago, I wrote to about 15 congressmen, and I asked them to eliminate that spending. I said that it makes no sense to send some federal tax money back to the same place from which the money came. I said that, if that federal spending is eliminated, that would save about 18% of the federal budget, so Congress would pass an across-the-board 18% tax rate cut. I didn’t receive responses from any of those letters.
