Interesting to see the states most dependent on fed aid:

Paul, can you tell me how much more the feds spend per capita in NH, compared to CT?

Because a couple making 150K a year in CT, will pay approximately $8,000 a year to the state in income tax, and if they spend $60k a year on taxable things that's another $3600 a year in sales tax, for a total of $11,600 to the state, which they wouldn't have to pay in NH. You telling me that discrepancies in federal spending per capita, are that large between CT and NH? If the difference isn't that large, then the federal spending gap doesn't explain the difference in debt.

Look it up yourself. Use the google.

Over 1/3 of Kent. GDP is fed spending.

You're ignoring the higher sal. in blue states.

Fed. spending has a mulitplier effect. New sikorsky helicopters means more people working, more taxes, those people go to lunch so more deli workers, more taxes, that extra deli worker pays taxes and buy products, more taxes, those people drive to work so more gas taxes.

We're talking about dif. things (although someone related). You can't just look at 1 aspect and say it's this or it's that based on only 1 thing.

kentucky isn’t a place where people
are flocking. so little point in focusing on it.

you made the claim that federal spending is the cause of the state debt. so why not show me the data?

answer- the data doesn’t show what you want it to show.

you make the claim, the burden of proof is on you. otherwise it’s just a claim.

Pretty soon Jim will have driven everyone else out of Connecticut.
Just let him keep thinking taxes are the reason they’re leaving.

cost is a big big reason. it’s not always the only reason. but it’s a big part of it. you can’t admit that, because it doesn’t serve The Narrative. lol at the places growling the fastest. It’s just a coincidence that most of them have low taxes?

if weather was the only reason, southern CA would
be receiving a share of them. beautiful weather there.

here, the right wing jerks at CNBC say that the top 5! states that lost population in 2020 were NY, NJ, IL, CA, and CT. what’s the commonality there, Pete? Are those states a mixed bag of red and blue?

And they say, obviously, that taxes are a big reason why people
are moving where they’re moving. not the only reason obviously.

sorry i dont have my gibberish to adult english translation book with me.

Pete, there are some things, some policies, some events, in which the right wins over the left. Not every time obviously. But not never.
