If Trump Cuts Federal Funding Over Sanctuary City Status

>" The State of California’s elected officials are exploring ways to combat President Trump’s Executive Order cutting off funding to sanctuary cities. National legal experts say that Trump’s sanctuary cities order is unconstitutional because, at its core, the order is an attempt to commandeer state and local officials in violation of the 10th Amendment.

California’s Democratic leaders believe there are numerous federal programs receiving state funds as well, which they will seek to cut, to make up for anything Republicans siphon out of their budgets. San Francisco’s CBS affiliate reports that the federal government only spends 78 cents in California for every tax dollar sent from that state to Washington:

The state of California is studying ways to suspend financial transfers to Washington after the Trump administration threatened to withhold federal money from sanctuary cities, KPIX 5 has learned. “California could very well become an organized non-payer,” said Willie Brown, Jr, a former speaker of the state Assembly in an interview recorded Friday for KPIX 5’s Sunday morning news. “They could recommend non-compliance with the federal tax code.”

2. The pee-resident pulled the nihilistic trigger

and countering it this way is entirely appropriate IMO. Bannon eants to destroy government? Let those in the taker states bear the brunt first. Let's get this confrontation started now, before it gets too late.

9. Red states are happily taking blue states' money then slapping them in the face in return

Red states need blue states' money more than anything else. Why are taxes generally lower in red states? Because they're suckling away on the government teet.
