Someone needs to elaborate on this, why would this not work? Just stop sending/taking federal money and don't cordinate federally.

Blue states were doing that all through Trumps presidency for the most part.

Because States also receive federal money.

Mitch McConnell's Kentucky is one of the biggest net receivers.

I would happily rather send money to my state instead of the IRS if my state would tell the feds to FO.

Most money is printed/created out of thin air. And the feds have the spigot.

Honestly the reason state taxes are so low is because they know that people won't tolerate much more with it compounded with federal. If we stopped paying federal taxes and all of that went to only our state instead, most states could probably pull it off quite well.

One of the main reasons smaller red states tend to be net receivers of federal money is because of federally mandated entitlement programs they required to pay for
