So far, NO state has stood up to the feds and risked losing federal funding. As always, it comes down to the money. That’s the bottom line. No state has stepped up because we have political wimps in charge of each state and THAT is because the people of each state are still fast asleep. But I think they are waking up. Can’t happen too soon.
Trump represents change from the top but there also needs to be change from the bottom - the states and the people. They’ve go to step up and as I said, it can’t happen too soon. Just ONE STATE. That’s all it would take. Just one freaking courageous state that says FU to the tyranny of the feds and start its financial journey to independence. One state. Others would follow. I pray for this to happen and SOON.
You make a REALLY good point about states not turning their backs on federal funding.
That really WOULD be a watershed moment for at least one state to say NO!
