Let the red states fo what they want, as long as they are made to cover the costs and heard from receiving federal aid if their states experience another outbreak.
Let them make the choice and let them live with the consequences.
How about we apply that to the blue states, and 86 that odious bailout of their vastly-overspent budgets?
I also seem to remember much screaming outrage from your ilk when we suggested that states not enforcing their own laws to protect their own citizens from violence shouldn't get federal funding, so may I cordially suggest that you take your hypocrisy and your ASSumption that all federal taxes are exclusively yours to do whatever you want with, and stuff them right back up where your "ideas" came from?
We pay taxes, same as you do, punkin. And we are citizens, same as you are. And we do not need to surrender our rights to self-governance to purchase the exact same treatment as every other state. YOU do not "let" us do anything. And you should be ashamed to be an American adult and need to have that explained to you.
