Congress will not approve allocation of money for bailouts.
There are two other avenues for states to get money - the executive branch and the judicial branch.
There are no doubt many avenues open to allocate funds to states by executive order. Last I read there were still funds available in porkulus. That’s one way. It would be unpopular, but Obama is between a rock and a hard place. He’ll do what the unions want him to do.
States in trouble can mount lawsuits claiming their state bears an unfair burden for the care of illegals, children, subsidized college students, senior citizens, mentally ill, addicted - you name it. Other states who don’t have this type of burden should share the cost. A liberal sympathetic court would agree.
When liberals don’t get their way through legislation, they usually turn to the courts, so I think that’s what they’ll do.
