The NYT headline? “States Brace for Added Burdens of Trump’s Tax and Spending Law.”
Translation: Fake. It’s not a tax-and-spend bill. It’s the largest rollback of federal transfer payments in 60 years.

States like Arizona are panicking. Gov. Hobbs admits even if she cut every program, she still couldn’t backfill the lost federal funds.
The era of Washington paying and states spending is over.

OBBBA pushes the blame downstream. Trump cut the hose. Governors now hold the empty bucket. They’ll have to raise taxes or cut programs—and own the fallout.

Medicaid, SNAP, and Obamacare subsidies were gutted. No more blank checks. Governors must enforce new rules themselves or lose funding.

Harvard has $50B in its endowment. OBBBA says: if you want to be a hedge fund, you get taxed like one.

Student loan limits are now capped. Fewer guarantees for worthless degrees = lower tuition, more efficiency, and less taxpayer fraud.
Colleges have to earn their bloated fees now.

Add in the defunding of Planned Parenthood, and you’ve got a clean kill shot on the Left’s entire funding model.
