    States shouldn't be getting money from the federal government in the first place. The whole earmarks, department of education and more is shit.

    Then what is the federal government to do with all the money it gets from the states?

    If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?

    Believe it or not, we no longer live under the Articles of Confederation. But your selective support for states rights is telling.
    Hope is the denial of reality

    I'm in support of democracy being as close to the people possible. Which means the federal government should not involve itself in things that states or even down to cities should handle. Withholding funds that should have never been allocated in that fashion isn't great but more broadly it kinda is interesting because it shows how stupid the idea of people sending money to the federal government is to earmark back to the state government. Just collect and spend at the state level, no need for hoops and extra jumps.

    Don't you vote Republican? What you said and how you vote are opposite.

    No character. Lewk is mad he isn't calling for incel groypers to spread rumors about Scarborough being a pedophile.

    Then you'd be ok with Texas refusing federal funds for Education, Police, Fire, and Hospitals....that make up the state's tax collection deficit?

    Just collect and spend at state level, right? You're full of shit if you think Texas can hold its own without help from the federal gov't. You can barely prop up the port of Galveston without federal help.
