No question they’ll try. Its vital they be flat out rejected. States are sovereign. They need to be forced to clean up their own messes. It would be totally unfair to force voters in Red States who had no say in how irresponsibly Blue States blew money to pay for it. That would literally be taxation without representation.
The article starts out with a questionable premise.
It’s phrased as blue States requiring Red State money. I may be out of date on this but it is my recall that revenue coming from Red States versus government payments going to Red States is a greater deficit than that of the blue States.
I just asked an AI for the top five Federal deficit States. They are Virginia, Arizona, Alabama, South carolina, and Maryland. So three of five are red.
California and New York are net surplus, not deficit.
