@livinglava,
Many states don't have the purchasing power to get what they need. They're going to now fight neighboring states for limited resources. We don't need that. We need the steady bully hand of the Federal government to help the weaker states get what they need.
NY state and California state? We got our butt covered. We'll be fine. Many other smaller states...? Not so much. Not that difficult. We really don't need to turn this into a Hunger Games between the states.
