Robbing Blue States to Pay Red
17 Views • Nov 17, 2017
Description
After all, their last big legislative drive — the Senate health bill, Graham-Cassidy, which failed in September — also sought a major transfer of resources from blue states
that had done a good job expanding health insurance to red states that hadn’t.
But there is a second kind of redistribution in the plans — from Democratic blue states to Republican red states.
As Representative Lee Zeldin, Republican of New York, lamented, the tax bills are
“taking money from a state like New York to pay for deeper tax cuts elsewhere.”
Republicans’ red-state bias may seem like just more of the same.
Senator Rand Paul, Republican of Kentucky, derided
that bill as “petty politics” — “just taking the Obamacare money, keeping it and taking it from Democratic states and giving it to Republican states.”
But this nakedly partisan federalism is far from politics as usual.
