[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not going to get too concerned about this until the new administration is in place. Homan was chosen for his ability to act tough on TV. There is a theatrical element to all this that Trump requires. Remember that threatening and bullying was one of his tactics when he was a "businessman." In practice, there are some safeguards in place that can prevent a president from withholding funds from a state to "punish" it. 1) Congress controls federal spending and 2) withholding federal funds could violate the 10th amendment, which protects states' rights, and the Spending Clause, which requires federal funds to be used for the general welfare of states. [/quote] I’m actually not concerned at all. It will be chaos. All designed to distract from Trump grabbing everything that’s not nailed down. Taxpayer dollars will go straight into his pockets while he tweets out nonsense that spins everyone up. [/quote]
