🤔 What if the “Donor States” that contribute more $ to the federal gov than they get back for programs, services, contracts, and aid, demand new trade terms from Trump? 😁1 New Jersey2 Massachusetts3 New York4 Connecticut5 California6 Illinois7 Washington8 Colorado9 Minnesota10 Utah

REPUBLICAN MATH…Red states slash taxes, cut services because of less revenue than blue states like California have to make up for their shortfall.

Wow. All but five states have lower GDP than the San Francisco Bay Area.

If blue states kept their money, they would be fine or even better off. Red states would be in deep financial trouble.Example: California is the fourth largest economy on Earth. It grows over one third of America’s vegetables and two thirds of its fruits and nuts.

In 2023, NY contributed $89 billion more to the federal government than we received. Undocumented immigrants in NYC contributed $3 billion. So in theory we could just stop giving Republicans federal subsidies and pay for that marginal $18 billion in infrastructure directly and have a big surplus.
