The cuts to several states come amid an escalating fraud fallout fueled by a dubious YouTube investigation of Minnesota day cares.
The Trump administration on Monday said it had slashed billions in social services funds to a handful of blue states as part of its escalating response to new and unproven fraud allegations in Minnesota.
The Department of Health and Human Services will freeze $10 billion worth of federal grants to California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York, an HHS official told HuffPost, confirming news first reported by The New York Post.
It’s not clear whether the freeze was inspired by specific fraud allegations or solely for political reasons. Officials did not immediately provide a public explanation.
Those blue state citizens are what funds the red states…
I’ve been saying it for almost a year now, it won’t be easy but blue states need to stop having employees federal taxes sent off every check. Instead send it to a fund, when trump pulls shit like this, use the fund to make up the difference.
It’s gonna come to that point eventually and it’s a complicated process, so we should have it set up and ready to pull the trigger.
Do you know how many people would flock to blue states if they thought didn’t have to pay federal income tax? It would be madness.
isn’t that the point?
They would still be paying the tax
Blue states have most of the adults worth having.
Do you know how many people would flock to blue States if they thought their taxes were going to be spent on anything that will benefit them?
More people would flock to blue states if they could do basic math surrounding long term cost of living expenses.
I think that would be a feature, not a bug.
