Seeing that a damn is about to bust open, flooding various communities in California because of government cut backs and neglect, should the Federal government give California money for their fabulous new rail system?

The general idea of punishing a state because it votes for the wrong candidate that underlies your and Breitbart's facially neutral statements, is reprehensible. We're still one country. The people of California would rush to help the people of Mississippi if they were in danger and vice versa.

Shouldn't money go toward known infrastructure that needs attention before it goes to new projects?
