Bailouts for the purpose of keeping poorly managed, corrupt pension plans afloat are inappropriate. Let the state that created the mess clean it up.

He's not asking a rhetorical question. Why should we do it? They have to supply the answer

I would give them the money if they relinquished statehood and became a territory

Bankruptcy is the only answer. Extremely corrupt unions negotiated impossible, economy destroying pensions. Those have to either die or be continuously bailed out until the entire country's economy buckles under the strain.

which is essentially what would happen if they declared bankruptcy and went into receivership - will NOT happen.

I don't mean essentially. I mean in actual fact. Give up their house seats, senate seats, and votes for president.

Let's see how badly they want that money

nice ideas, but there is a constitutional and statutory framework that needs to be followed. The states options are to declare bankruptcy or to continue kicking the can down the road.

The option they want, which they arent gonna get, is sticking the feds with the tab (which would mean sticking the rest of the country with the tab).

He wants protests against these major cities from the citizens themselves. This isn't the last we're going to hear of it. He's making it personal, which is what the dems excel at.

Dems want to dictate what states can do because of these big cities. They have no right to do that and everyone should be pissed off.

If they are out of money they need to open back up. And stop spending money on illegals.

They're spending money on themselves and the money that does make it to illegals is just the cost of doing business.

In California, 40% of the money allocated to illegals was captured as operating costs.

well, thats the whole game isnt it?

The blue state governors, having run their states into the ground, expect to extort the Feds, meaning the rest of the country, into bailing them out - IOW subsidizing their horrendous leftist policies.

But who cares? Trump wasnt going to win blue states anyway. Let the Governors attempt to blame him, and meanwhile those states can go bankrupt if need be. Maybe their populations will learn their lessons and stop voting in Dem governors and legislatures, whose policies lead to the shithole status.

I'm stuck in Illinois. The Feds must not bail us out. We need to go down to the ground and feel the pain of what they've done with our finances.

Notice he says > the people and taxpayers of America> Woodrow Wilson screwed us over 100 years ago by agreeing to sign the Federal Reserve Act becaused he was bought and paid by the evil globalist elite. Our amazing President knows this.

He's shilling. Rural states do not make all the money. But it's still wrong for states that have grossly mismanaged their pension funds to expect a federal bailout.

Fart News Media:

“Fact Check False. Democrat run states are not flooded with water at higher rates than Red States and are NOT seeking the Federal Government to help bail out the water.”

Don't give them a dime, unless all other states are going to get the same amounts, no mattere what citizenship numbers they have. If New York gets $11.7 billion, so should Kentucky and West Vuirginia, and Montana, etc etc etc.

Imagine that NYC has been drunk driving for years. Completely irresponsible. Then they get into an accident and demand all responsible drivers bail them out
