Withhold money from Feds in exchange for them shirking fiscal responsibilities

The federal government's failure to disburse congressionally appropriated funds to states is deeply concerning and necessitates a robust response from state governments. By withholding these promised funds, particularly for critical areas like education, the administration is placing an undue burden on state budgets and forcing cuts to vital public services. This fiscally irresponsible action undermines the collaborative relationship between federal and state governments. I have an idea, based on based on something David Moon, delegate to House of Representatives in Maryland, is doing. You must explore all available legal avenues to compel the federal government to uphold its funding promises. You need to treat the federal government as a “deadbeat debtor” which they are, and utilize standard debt collection measures, such as withholding state funds owed and placing liens on federal property. This seems a justified approach given the unprecedented situation. While unconventional, these measures are grounded in well-established practices for dealing with delinquent debtors. The administration's disregard for the rule of law and threat to ignore court orders necessitates swift action from states to safeguard the interests of their residents. Withholding funds provides an immediate mechanism to address urgent funding shortfalls, ensuring continuity of essential services like education, healthcare, and housing assistance. This proactive stance upholds commitments to serving constituents and holds the federal government accountable. While we can continue to implore the administration to reverse course, honor its funding commitments, and restore a collaborative dynamic with state partners, failing that, state governments must be prepared to take extraordinary measures to protect the well-being of their residents in the face of the administration's fiscally reckless policies.
