You know, it’s 13 million (and all told, if I calculated it right, it’s about 63 million nationwide being withheld from ‘outlaw counties’) It might behoove the president to appeal to the American People to support those counties who are being punished for failing to be in lockstep with their state governments.
Heck, finding the funding probably wouldn’t take much more than a few phone calls. As well as lawyers ready to represent the various counties involved to get the money paid back when they win in court.
It’d be an incredible campaign stunt, bypassing obstructionist liberals who are punishing the people by withholding funds they’re entitled to.
‘course the worst part is that he’d have to assign a couple people just to make sure the money got to where it was supposed to.
I don’t think these counties have much of a legal leg to stand on. Strings get attached to government funds all the time.
Remember when the fed tried to hold funds from “sanctuary states”? Didn’t a judge rule that illegal?
