California should freeze federal tax payments.
Put it in an escrow account and use it to replace the lost medicaid and other funding.
when the feds hold up their end of the deal, they get to have the remaining funds.
I’m not sure how practical that is (seems like it would be more complicated than that). But if something like that could be done it would be great.
Conservatives want to try starving vulnerable Californians? Without our revenue dozens of red states will start starving. Would be funny seeing this administration shoot itself in the foot yet again.
I bet one of the biggest employers in California is the state itself. They simply need to tell people they are holding withholding in escrow and that any irs actions are to be forwarded to their new special tax team.
Then invite all other employers to join.
It wouldn’t be easy but the threat of it happening would bring the administration to the table. What happens when welfare states find out that the big blue boogeyman on the west coast is funding their entire existence? Will they fall in line behind republicans or will they decide to sit out the next vote?
Even the people on r/conservative are calling this the dumbest way to handle the issue…
Show the law where it says that
This will last until it gets into a court room.
So CA is being targeted. I smell a lawsuit.
Damn. I’m sure that’ll go all the way to the supreme court of rapist pedophiles
American politics seem to all be ‘politician does something evil, doesn’t get assassinated’
yet…
Can’t wait to read the governor candidates responses to this.
could freeze funding for their Medicaid fraud units unless they investigate and prosecute fraud by providers
lolwut?
Meanwhile Rick Scott was in charge of Columbia/HCA while it committed the largest count of Medicaid fraud in history. He’s now a Senator and the Republicans put him in charge of their finances.
Came here to say this. I love it when Republicans pretend to GAF about “fraud”.
They are LYING LIARS.
“If these people actually cared about medicaid fraud they’d kill Rick Scott” – Every Hasan Piker’s hitpiece, completely missing the point that it’s true.
Lol, he really said that? I don’t follow him, but that’s objective af.
He let a thought slip when talking about healthcare and Luigi. Obviously he has to play the song and dance of “it was like when you say ‘kill a bill’”. Hasan has to walk a fine line because he’s in the public eye. But, yeah, we all know it’s true on its face. Obviously we’re not getting healthcare for everyone by assassinations of more CEOs. But he said what we all are often thinking.
