Let's Bail Out the Blue States and Cities, but . . .


Let's bail out the blue states and cities, but let's make it conditional. 

I'm okay with one final round of Stimulus spending during the Covid-19 crisis, but only if the only item in the bill is bailout money for bankrupt states and cities, with the following conditions attached...

"In return for federal funds to resolve the insolvency or budget shortcomings of a State or Municipality, the State or Municipality must cede political and operating control to the Executive Branch of the federal government. The President shall, without the advice and consent of either the House or the Senate, appoint a new Governor (State) or Mayor (Municipality). The appointee shall serve no fewer than two years and shall, with the consent of the Executive Branch, have final authority over all rules, regulations and legislation made or passed by the legislative bodies of the State or Municipality. The appointee will have line-item veto power over any spending bill or budget item. Further, the appointee shall have the authority, with the consent of the Executive Branch, to declare null and void such existing rules, regulations and laws as the Executive Branch may deem deleterious to the State's or Municipality's financial solvency. Appointees may not belong to the same political party as the incumbent Governor or Mayor."
