You suspect CA is playing hardball with the Feds for financial aid?

I don't even know the details, but it's an old tactic, especially in California, to pick out the most outrageous thing that could happen and say that it will happen if your opponent or your patron doesn't give you lots of money.

It's the way that NPR does business, for instance. Also, North Korea. It's amazing that supposedly well-educated, sophisticated people fall for this tactic so often.
