If he can do it for zero dollars, fine, otherwise stay out.
Not fedgovs job to fix the states problems.
Just stop there.
If you begin the premise that the feds can fix the state's problems this time because it doesn't cost anything, you have opened a Pandora's box of unlimited federal involvement with state issues, most of which will be costly. Only the citizens of California get to vote for their representation both at the state and at the federal level. Asking the rest of us to pay to fix their state's problems amounts to taxation WITHOUT representation.
If you get federal taxpayers’ money, no different if it’s CA or Ukraine, you’d bloody well better be able to account for how you use it. If you can’t, and if Trump makes it suck to be whomever is abusing taxpayer trust, fine by me.
