Biden administration threatens to rescind stimulus funds from Arizona over anti-mask school policy

12. For the people saying no threats, remember you're dealing with crazy people.

They will have the money taken as you ask, and if by some miracle they reinstate the mask program, they would probably refuse to take the stimulus funds back just as some way of "spiting" the tyrannical government, etc.

That said, I seriously doubt they would reinstate the mask programs if the funds were taken. They would make it their rallying cry for the "patriots" and blah, blah.

I think it's good to apprise them they're about to lose money/supporters/voters first and give them a chance to change things, ONLY if you do so while showing them you have the document drafted to remove that stimulus with only your signature missing. Then, see what they do and follow through if nothing.

Ultimately, the people hurt are the ones without the masks because of this. Many people can't afford decent ones. Will the politicians care if the fund to help that goes away? Of course not, doesn't hurt their paycheck and they get points with the anti-government crowd.
