> I mean, this is more or less how it already works with all the federal department funding Which is why it's bad to add to that. > The same administration wants to abolish the Department of Education which is guilty of the same thing. So no side is really being consistent in this particular area. I'm not aware of a time where DoE was used as a political cudgel against specific states, care to elaborate here? That DoE can allogate disproportionately from wealthier states to poorer states based on need isn't the issue. The issue is when it's based on spite. |

Obviously nobody has weaponized these agencies like Trump. But it's worth pointing out that the way DoE funds have been doled out over the years have been deferential and usually follow each administrations' pet projects.
It's a fair criticism to have over a national EV road tax as well, but it's not that unusual a precedent.
