Well, as much as anything else, it's a money thang. We have reviewed/discussed/debated several ideas on these 10th Amendment threads about how a State or States could go about telling the federales to take their fed funds and stuffing 'em! Probably some workable ideas around, it's just a matter of taking that first step; the journey of a thousand miles and all... Who'll be the first???
The money flows both ways. States’ citizens send the biggest share of income tax to DC, DC takes their 70% overhead and returns about 30% maximum to red states and 40% to Blue states. Do the math, because in the long run, certainly the red states would be far better off just keeping the money within their borders. Something has to break because the bast***s in DC are not listening.
