Not only that, but you can shift federal funding from the state to county and city governments. He also doesn’t understand how farm subsidies work in those “red states”, as if money is going to farmers so they can buy private jets. He’s not ready for the deep end of the pool yet. Looking into government funding is like peeling back a whole onion, not the simple 3 metric method he is spinning to try and fit his argument. It probably goes over well on social media where heads of cabbage nod in agreement as half witted liberals pretend 2nd grade level intellectualism gave them a eureka! moment on federal funding.

Federal funding that goes to a state can be shifted to county and city governments? Who knew? Wow, you are a financial genius.

And what is your point? Do you think they shift to county and city government outside of the state?
The funny thing is that your post invalidates your feelings even more. If the finding is being “shifted” nefariously, the states would need even MORE of it.
Regardless of what you and Thx feel, any state with a higher ratio of take versus give when it comes to Federal dollars is more dependent than one with a lower ratio.
In 2020 NJ got back 79 cents for every dollar paid in Federal taxes. They contribute 4% of all tax dollars for the country (~$140 BILLION).
West Virginia is most dependent, receiving ~$2.00 back for every dollar they contribute. That’s a net loss no matter how you look at it.

But since you both think these numbers are “fake”, tell us who is doing the faking, and for what purpose How are they lying about people’s incomes without the people catching on to the scam?

Any metric can be skewed however one wants it to...so the real question is how much time have you spent in different states across the US?...if you've just driven through most of them, then you're just repeating somebody's else's talking points...

So, all of the country is involved in one big scam to fake the numbers of our economy? To what and who’s benefit? What does West Virginia gain from pretending to be in the red financially year after year? Why would they help other states appear to be in the black?

How do the people of NJ not know they really don’t have such a high per capita income?

Your argument is flawed in that you think economics is only based on one metric. The stats I posted are calculated across multiple metrics. It’s not like thinking the earth is cold because you saw snow outside. It goes way deeper than that.

There you go again. Can't go without mentioning me. Is that all you people do, accuse people of using feelings like it is some virus that will kill every living thing? Oh wait, wasn't that what Democrats did because of their feelings for Trump so they voted this retard into office with their feelings and now look where this country is. Way to go dumb asss.

You're too simplistic to even try to understand. You still think I'm on the Republicans side somehow because I don't support democrats. I wouldn't expect that you'd even know your own party's economic and funding strategies, or even how it differs from Republicans.

The government data mining emails w/o search warrants is still a crock of sh$t. If you worked for any DHS LEA then you'd agree that the lack of warrants and using private party data storage voluntarily made available to the gov is a chicken sh4t way to circumvent the law.

At the same time the fed dropped the ball on several mass shootings, CIS shooting, Orlando nightclub, Dallas mohaumud drawing, but still managed to prosecute a downsyndrome man for being involved in terrorism after they basically egg'd him on.

You can't and shouldn't prosecute people on "maybe's."
Data mining freely w/o a warrant is simply wrong.

I'm not saying data mining is right. I'm saying its definitely effective at stopping terrorist attacks. Now that Roe V Wade has been overturned and based on Justice Thomas's "secondary opinion," you can expect even less privacy from the gov't.

People who hide behind technology to hurt and control others are the biggest pile of cockless shitheads in the world. They are the scum of the Earth.

The constitution is dead, and we’re just living out a staged reality as they’re implementing their AI control system more and more rapidly. The AI and how it interacts with us is going to reach a critical mass. I don’t think it’s ever going to register for most people how much their minds are already influenced and under control by extremely advanced AI-spy tech that knows you better than you know yourself.

The internet itself is a giant spy system- it’s the World Wide Web that traps all of our minds into it.

It is kinda crazy, with the advent of the Metaverse, we are actually voluntarily plugging ourselves into the Matrix.

Feelings for or against Trump had nothing to do with the facts that he totally screwed the pooch as POTUS. The documentation and proof of it is extensive.
See? You even let your feelings get in the way of understanding those facts.
Odd for a self-proclaimed expert in so many fields.

Attempting to insult my intelligence and using words incorrectly while doing it is a beautiful demonstration of irony.
Well done.

The DHS and FBI say white people/supremacy in America is the biggest domestic terror threat. It’s clear corruption and flat out bullshit to target the main population of our nation to destroy it, like some commie fascist infiltrators got in there.

Are we gonna babysit people our whole lives? We have the dumbest most docile population now that doesn’t know how anything works. Dumb worker debt slaves, because very few experience real life now like our ancestors used to.

It's not "white supremacy" per se that the alphabet soup gang fear. It's their unwillingness to "cooperate" with gov't. First lets not forget (criminal) white supremist groups have threatened law enforcement and judges, etc, so they have nobody to blame but themselves for ending up on a terrorist watch list. Again as former DHS employee, who was it that I observed involved in shady reconnaissance missions against soft(ish) targets: white folks. Not that I cared and not the DHS cares, but they were white, probably multi-generational Americans. Additionally, not a lot of blacks, hispanics, asians, muslims, etc storming the Capitol on Jan 6th.

14th Amendment. It protects the right to privacy.
The right to privacy is supposed to prevent the government from deciding what we do or do not do with our own bodies.
The Federal government leaving the abortion decision up to individual states to decide opens the door to other laws making such decisions.
What happens when they make it illegal for us to choose to drink, or drink to excess? Illegal to smoke? Illegal to get a tattoo? Illegal to get a vasectomy or tubal ligation? How about body modification?

What level of control do you think the government should have over us?

“The 14th Amendment also establishes the right to due process at the state level. Due process has been used by the Supreme Court to strike down state legislation that restricts personal liberties and interests not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, such as the right to privacy.

The 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling relied on this clause when it concluded that prohibiting abortion violated a right to privacy under the Constitution by restricting a person’s ability to choose whether to have an abortion. “

Clearly now that the courts and USSC in particular are loaded with conservative judges, you can expect many of those freedoms to get walked back. IIRC, tattoos are quasi-illegal in Oklahoma. States are still in control over marijuana laws, there are still dry counties. FYI, Justice Thomas made a comment recently suggesting gay *** is something that could/should be looked at - I hope your hetrosexual and/or don't live in Texas. I wouldn't be surprised to see gay marriage on the chopping block.

Jan. 6th was a Reichstag fire of modern day times. The FBI is completely corrupted, and targeting the primary demographic of this country in a highly illegal and totalitarian fashion.

If it’s not white supremacy, lol, then why is that what they call it? There’s been hearings over this; it’s absurd.

It's because White Supremist groups recruit from and infiltrate these largely white groups, who express anti-gov't sentiments, are well armed, militant, etc, etc, etc.

The other half of the equation is going after "white supremist" is an easy sell. Going after a bunch of middle class white guys - that's a harder sell.
