Time for the blue states to break the bank-transfer links from employers to D.C.; to collect the taxes in their capitals; and, withhold tax funds. Release to D.C. AT MOST the receipts from D.C. in the previous year (to eliminate the overage that blue states send to D.C. to subsidize red states). 🤔

Additionally, when Trump tries to drumpf a blue state of disaster relief funds, for example, then that state applies withheld tax funds to fund said relief and forwards the net balance to Washington. ⚖️
Several people, arrogating themselves as intellectual gate-keepers in this forum, will undoubtedly blow a gasket . . . So, blow; these men do not understand human nature and conflict. They fail to account for stated Trumpian behavior and its likely future. 😵
The hearing for the nominee to direct O.M.B. revealed open talk within the M.A.G.A. brain-drain, if not yet practice, of impoundment (e.g., suspending or ending F.E.M.A. operations). Where will funds delivered to agencies-in-stasis go? 😱
Theorizing about what might cause a civil war over a wire transfer mechanism, when such civil disorder has likely started, is as brilliant as trying to bail out the Titanic with a tea-spoon. The Great Civil War of the nineteenth century did not start at Fort Sumter or even with secession; its started five years earlier with Bleeding Kansas. 😰
Now, this particular idea may not work. But some form of it can at least support other initiatives. We need ideas to break down and re-assemble or refine. Attacking someone's view is about as helpful as Florence Nightingale handing out LSD for a head cold. 😉

Ned, I think that it should go a step further; but you propose a good starting point.
Pacifica, anyone?
Only if you let me be an undocumented immigrant. 😉
