Ca. has leverage. We, the people of California, pay more in federal taxes than any other state, by a massive amount. Huge disparity. If they want to hold things hostage, then Californians should withhold their taxes. Not paying is just a misdemeanor. In fact, maybe ALL blue state citizens...1/2

should withhold their taxes. Blue states support the red states. This is one way that population proves it is more important than land mass. If the fed doesn't treat blue states fairly, then a BLUE STATE TAX STRIKE is called for!!!

Sounds like California should withhold paying federal taxes then. Let states like Louisiana fund themselves. If I recall correctly, Louisiana's state budget receives over 1/3 in funding from the federal government.

Speaker Johnson and other republican congressmen know a democratic president never plays dirty. Democrats never play dirty where as Republicans take what they want. Democrats prefer to be liked than respected. As a life long democrat this is painfully embarrassing.

I think you’re mistaking being responsible for “wanting to be liked”. No politician in my country has ever threatened to curtail aid for an emergency based on political demographics. The Dems have nothing to be ashamed of in the regard. The Rs on the other hand - disgustingly crass

Perfectly reasonable. My frustration is our democratic leaders are certainly responsible while our republican leaders are irresponsible. Our democrats are certainly reasonable while our republican leaders are unreasonable. The republicans won. It defies logic. Thanks for engaging. Eh!

It saying it’s right, but maybe Dems could learn from their example and make these red states appreciate the benefits of living in a democracy every once in a while by putting conditions on their aid.

I hope that Canada and Mexico and any other countries currently offering firefighting support to California withdraw that aid effective Jan 20. From that day on the Mango Mussolini can ask for, and be refused, continued support.

That would be a disaster on top of a disaster for California. Do you think Trump actually would ask for the aid to continue? Of course he wouldn't. Trump and his MAGAts won't lift a finger to help California unless they can see how it will put money in their pockets.

An representative call for” conditions” should be aware that “conditions” work both ways. California can start limiting exports to those states. Our reps can vote against ANY funding for those states infrastructure, military, disaster aid. Also, boycotts. Be careful what you wish for.

If any Democrat did something like that, Republicans and the media would not be able to shut the fuck up about it for weeks. And rightfully so. But when Republicans propose putting conditions on federal aid to Blue States, it's largely crickets from the media.
