It is happening at the Federal level right now with the current proposed phase 3 pandemic relief bill. All the usual suspects have their hands out trying to dump the price of their liberal largesse on our door step. There is absolutely no reason the other fiscally responsible states should underwrite the Blue nanny states deficit entitlement spending proclivities.

If a state wants to spend tax dollars like a drunken sailor (apologies to the Navy vets, I'm using the figurative saying, no bad on you guys) then you get to enjoy the hangover and headache the nest morning. Don't want the pain? Then cut back the nanny state entitlements!

There is no free money! We always end up having to pay it back.

What you say is correct about the industrial states and east coast. New Yorkers that leave for Florida by and large leave Florida like it was (although that seems to be changing.) California exiles are the worst. They complain and whine about how bad the situation in CA is, and then move to Las Vegas and Phoenix and then make those places into little Californias.
