Yet those who didn't vote for the bad leader, still suffer. I didn't vote for the lousy leader in the White House, and yet my family suffers from that moron.
I didn't vote for Newsom who is a horrible leader for California.
My family suffers from his insane policies!!!
The motto of a Faux Conservative is this: I (or we) got ours, fuck the rest of you.
Damn Rye, what a lie!

Giving Financially Mismanaged States a Bailout Is Morally Reprehensible
29 Apr 2020 ~~ By Jeff Webb
“Never let a crisis go to waste.” Those now infamous words ring as true, maybe truer, today than ever before and the current crisis is no exception. In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, Americans are witnessing a new epidemic emerge—an epidemic of middle-class theft. Politicians in states that have been fiscally irresponsible for decades, amassing massive levels of debt and unfunded liabilities are coming hat in hand to the federal government—to you, the middle-class taxpayer—in an attempt to exploit our current health crisis to solve their financial mismanagement.
Such exploitation rightfully begs the question: why should the taxpayers of fiscally responsible states be forced by the federal government to bail out the states who failed, in many cases for decades on end, to wisely and responsibly manage their finances?
In fact, the systemic mismanagement of state finances by many, arguably most states, dates to well prior to the current health crisis and is not limited to merely pension fund obligations. Let’s take a look at the financial stewardship of the four states referenced above:
Illinois: Current debt $165 billionNew York: Current debt $349 billionNew Jersey: Current debt $95 billionMichigan: Current debt $73 billionEach of these states, along with many others, was running budget deficits prior to the coronavirus. So, again, we are forced to ask the question: why should the taxpayers of fiscally responsible states be forced to clean up the mess and foot the bill for the fiscally irresponsible ones?
As Washington gets ready to look at yet another round of coronavirus relief and with the U.S. national debt rapidly approaching $30 trillion, Congress must reject any notion that the citizens of another state should be forced to bailout the irresponsibility of another. Failure to do so will result in yet another unfair financial burden being redistributed to today’s middle class and tomorrow’s children and grandchildren.
Comment:
It is pretty obvious to me that the next time the PMS/DSA Democrats grab power in the US, they will bail out the Blue States that have failed to control spending, pension plans, and address their fiscal problems through anything other than higher taxes.
In fact, there is a decent chance they will pass a living wage and other big ticket dreams as part of the “Green New Deal” along with draconian environmental taxes, regulation, and restrictions that will kill a significant number of jobs.
Will our nation allow this?
Sadly, after observing events in the last month I have changed my answer to the unthinkable. On top of that, they will gut the military and bow down to the UN once again and pay homage to China.
When do the citizens of America call a halt to taxation they just can't afford. When our family budget is tight, we have to make decisions about what we will do without to pay for the necessities. Shame we didn't get that balanced budget amendment prior to this happening. I think government pension/retirement systems would be a good place to start. As a public servant you were elected to serve, not be set on a throne the rest of your life. We have to start thinking term limits for those we elect.
What a load of shit.
One has to ask how a red state like kentucky receives from the Federal government $2.50 for every dollar it sends. New York on the other hand receives just 90 cents back for each dollar.
Who is floating who...
Wrong.... See:
One big point of difference among state economies is the tax burden of the average citizen. This number varies greatly. But what are the reasons behind why some states tax their residents more or less?
Most & Least Federally Dependent States in 2024
Most & Least Federally Dependent States in 2024wallethub.com
If a state can afford not to tax its residents at high rates, there are multiple explanations. One is that their economic policies are sound and the state economy is doing well. But another is that the state gets disproportionately more funding from the federal government than states with harsher tax codes.
Americans have looked at federal assistance programs with growing scrutiny. Under the current administration, the number of people dependent on government assistance has decreased. Regardless of overall trends, though, it is true that some states receive a far higher return on their federal income-tax contributions than others.
Just how big is this difference? And to what extent does it change our perception of state and local tax rates around the country? WalletHub sought to answer those questions by comparing the 50 states in terms of three key metrics. Read on for our findings, commentary from a panel of experts, and a detailed explanation of our methodology.

What a crock!
Why should I pay for anybody elses financial mismanagement?
I don't even live in california or NY or shitcago...and all 50 states are supposed to pay for THEIR pensions? To hell with that noise!
Why was NY so unprepared for this pandemic? Why no extra ventilators or masks or gowns?
Because they'll let their own people die before spending their own money...THAT'S WHY! Let a few million die & the fed-gov will pay for it.
But when the fed-gov pays for it...all 50 states pay for it!

This guy is a lying little weasel. The fact is that all states are suffering from a loss of revenue. All 50 of them cannot be poorly run. The fact is that all states and local governments will have to either raise taxes or make severe budget cuts. What we have are fascists who are trying to take advantage of a crisis by trying to create anarchy. These right wing fanatics are trying to destroy the country.
Thanks for your eloquent defense of Grasshopperism. You want all the rest of the United StatesSo, you don't want to have the United States of America, you just want States Conservatives Approve of in America, and tell the rest of the country to go to hell. Ain't much of a patriot, are you?
to come around and bail out the states that didn't save, that didn't live within their means, that didn't give a damn about managing their money wisely, that sold out to Big Public Unions and endless pensions and
democrat Ponzi schemes which is the common denominator in this all?
And worse of all you have the crass nerve to make those not down with pulling New Jersey's fat bloated ass (for instance) out of the fire of their own making the bad guys here?
You can fuck yourself just like you want to fuck responsible America now. Fuck yourself long, hard and deep
just like you want to fuck the states that didn't indulge in Grasshopper-nomics.

You've got to be kidding... The states and counties will still collect their property taxes when due along with their DMV, water, sewer and whatever taxes they've decided to place on their citizens....
Huh? Blue states can't even support themselves.For the same reason that the Blue States support the Red welfare States every single year: for the benefit of the people of the union.So, again, we are forced to ask the question: why should the taxpayers of fiscally responsible states be forced to clean up the mess and foot the bill for the fiscally irresponsible ones?
Well that was a softball question. Sorry I destroyed your thread so quickly.

BULLSHIT, ALL FIFTY STATES DO NOT PAY FOR IT; THIS IS A DAMN LIE!!!
This has to do with replacing revenue that has been lost due to the coronavirus. Every state is being hit by this.
