That's not the point, dope.
The amount of funding is irrelevant. The amount contributed is the point.
NY still pays $100b more to the fed than it receives. So....subtract their total federal funding received from their total federal tax contribution and they still contribute$100b more than they receive in funding.
Makers.
Kentucky is the opposite. They receive$100b more in federal funding than they pay in federal taxes.
Takers.
Here is the problem
Kentucky is not demanding that the Taxpayers bail them out, NY is.
The other problem is that I can't trust any stats coming from the Left because they lie, twist and spin all of the time.
It's not a bailout, dope. It's disaster reief.
It seems you are not above lies, twist and spin either.
The funny thing about this is that the red states like Kentucky aren't going to get bailed out either.
They will be in much horrible shape than NY state because Kentucky and states like Kentucky don't have the tax base to survive.
NY state does.
Sure there will be a hard year or so for NY state but they will recover. Kentucky won't. They don't have the infrastructure or tax base to survive on their own much less get them through the financial mess caused by the virus.
NY state and states like mine will get through ok. Red states that are already in very bad financial shape will be much worse off and probably won't recover.
All states and the federal government will have to raise taxes to pay for all this. That is IF they are responsible. Which the red states aren't. Knowing them, they will cut taxes in their sates more as their answer to their budget shortfalls. Which is beyond stupid. No intelligent person who sees a huge budget shortfall goes to their source of revenue to demand they send less money expecting to get more money. It's illogical and stupid but conservatives are very illogical and total morons. Intelligent people who see a budget shortfall increase their revenues. Either by increasing their existing revenue or get a second job. Republicans are too lazy to go get that second job.
