Right, waste of money and control. I think this is why Trump, Musk and Ramaswamy are going after these things so hard. But, when the states squawk, will they give up and bend the knee or will they be like Milei? I hope the latter.

It's a perverse arrangement, because most people would rather not pay for these things, but since the Feds already stole their money, this is the only way to get it back.

I agree with that, but I think it is better not stolen in the first place. The federal government is not even the right thief for the situation, is it? The local city and state governments can do their own robbery.

That's why I don't think there will be much pushback from the states/people. They don't want these programs, but they do want their money back.

Yep, they want their money back because they can dip their beaks into the flow and get what they can. This is what the state is for and what it does. FTS!
