This $750
billion Federal Giveaway needs to be challenged. In the 1960s, State and Local
governments had trouble getting pet projects approved by their voters, so they
asked the Federal government to get the money for them. These used to be called
“earmarks” and were “horse-traded” to be inserted in most Bills in the US House
and Senate.
States
and Local governments need to fund their own infrastructure and expenses from
local taxes from voters who would benefit from new infrastructure. Federal
grants were simply added to the price of local infrastructure. If voters in
cities and counties want money for commuter trains, bike lanes, parks and other
public spending, voters should vote to spend their own tax money. See below.

Lawless
States, Counties and Cities are vulnerable to having their Federal Dollars
frozen to get them to end their lawless ways and repeal their sanctuary and
other illegal and unconstitutional sub-culture ordinances that interfere with
Federal Law. ICE needs to be able to get local police support to transfer
illegal criminal aliens for prosecution and deportation. Universities need to
be persuaded to stop their Communist indoctrination on campus and reign in
their Leftist faculty and protest clubs to allow free speech or lose their
federal grant money.
