This would be the perfect opportunity for legislation that requires that all domestic spending be done in a manner proportionate to how it was collected, district by district. That way, people in districts with higher tax income will not have to continue to bail out those districts that are loaded with freeloading deadbeats. In other words, the blue districts will have to live within their means instead of leaning on the red districts for support.
That would help immensely in preventing taxpayers in the other 49 states from bailing out California. They made their own bed - let them sleep in it.
Such a move would also work wonders in preventing most earmarks since any earmarks would have to fit within the budget of the district that is benefitting from them.
brilliant.
