So are you telling the government to give states' money with no strings attached? And if those states aren't getting more money for that policy in the future, what is stopping them from getting rid of that policy? Its not like the federal government can just come in and indemnify states. The extent of their power is cutting off funding. They can't really cut off funding as an incentive if they aren't going to provide that funding in the first place. Nothing is stopping a state from changing its policies back.
Not to mention this is an extremely small provision you are talking about, mostly unemployment coverage. Governors who are complaining about this are taking every other dollar allocated to them without saying a word. Its like complaining when someone gives you a cupcake for free and you got pink icing instead of chocolate icing.
If they don't want it, no one is forcing them to take it. Are you complaining that the federal government is setting standards for how this money is used right after you were just complaining how the government has not set enough standards for something else?
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
