To get around the do-nothing feds, AL, MS and LA should tell their
citizens that any money they spend to clean up the spill in state
waters or waters within the state should be directly subtracted from
any federal taxes owed. The state legislatures should decree that the
feds cannot garnish wages or seize any property of such people for non-
payment of said taxes. If the feds want a fight over the clean up, so
be it.
