Yeah, nice to talk about ethics after decades of none at all
in the Golden state.

Technically he’s correct that it’s not charity. Rather it’s a bailout of all the bad policies and decisions they’ve made embracing illegals, sanctuary cities, and otherwise reckless spending with COVID-19 used as cover. California is a drunk and fed dollars are the enabler.

I think the alternate opportunity here is to set up a temporary committee to step in for failed states.

I mean that for states that have failed to meet their obligations, they need to turn over their dependent registries to said committee of auditors. Said auditors can validate list, confirm recipients, then referred to FEMA type assistance.

Of course if those recipients are illegal aliens or dead people, they will be either deported or buried. Either way, removed from those roles.

Once the state is solvent again, they can take over their basic role in this area again, after compensating the people of the United States for the temporary assistance.

As soon as Cuomo pays the expenses for the ship that wasn’t needed, the medical facilities that we built but were never used and all the other stuff the Feds furnished but NY never used.

Fed is broke & printing money now, Gavin. But what’s another $1T in federal debt among ‘friends’, right?

This jackass will only give it to illegals while complaining we’re not looking after our veterans.

And he believes California has an “ethical” obligation to give it away to the world!

As an army buddy used to tell moochers:

“Nix, nein, no, hell no, fick no and uh-uh too” !

If Newsome and the San Fran Democrats want to give every border jumpin’ beaner a $500 Wu Flu gimme check and a ride on the high speed train to no where them let CA voters pay for it.

They voted voted for it, not us.

We need to get Biden’s stance on this issue. I pray he says taxpayers should bail out cities like NYC, LA and Chicago
