Dangling the Dollars is the way they play the game. Withhold funding if we don't do as the say. The states have been neutered by the Federal government and it has gotten completely out of control. The Feds have their hand in every aspect of our lives. They have controlled behavior of Americans by enticing states to adopt the laws that the Feds think is appropriate. Individual states need to start refusing the dollars and return their citizens to some semblance of Freedom.
