The impact of Trump’s megabill will be immediately tough for blue states like New York to withstand. Gov. Kathy Hochul’s top budget official warns the state won’t be able to tax its way out of the problem.

I wonder if Trump will take credit for causing states to increase their taxes on the working class?

Also needs WARNING! If you’re insured through the ACA, you will not be automatically renewed as usual. So over 10 million of you have from November 1 to December 15 to resubmit and prove and submit numerous qualifications. This is thanks to Republicans and their Big Butthole Bill.

100% Republicans are counting on that. So far 18 hospitals and the emergency rooms have closed this year under Trump. We're going to see closings like never before.

Yes, It’s obviously intentional. This is going to be tragic for so many.

And these withholdings are scheduled to hit right after the mid term elections. So, if the Democrats really expect to have a chance they better start prepping the graphs and I told you so's so the R-MAGAs cannot deny it. Quote their own legislation back using visuals or they're sunk

If you can't tax your way out, it's time to deflate!

Simple, blue states shouldn’t send the federal government any tax dollars. Just withhold it all and use it to fund these programs. They don’t care about following laws,why should New York?

We should send out tax dollars from the bottom up, not the top down. This administration dismantles federal programs since they are farthest away from addressing local problems. Pay your town and county then pay your state. Whatever is left over send to Uncle Sam.

I would love to see the west coast band together and do something similar here. Good luck with your shipping anything across the pacific

Kathy Hochul is going to withhold federal tax funds. Simple as that.

The state should levy enormous service fees on the Tower.

Honestly, every state should withhold federal taxes and use it as a negotiation tool. Why support a federal government that is actively destroying your community and lying to the rest of the nation on what is taking place? Why support a governor who allows it?

How about NY and California find ways to stop subsidizing red states?

Honestly, states like NY and CA carry a heavy load — it’s frustrating to see their tax dollars flow to states that constantly criticize them.

Perhaps Hochul should keep $90B back from federal government to pay for NY budget. Time to only give what you get back, no more subsidizing welfare states like Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, etc.

Stop picking up trash from Trump hotel and buildings. You can say at lot because they are full of 💩. The other option is stopping paying the federal government as California should do and manage your own money.
