I normally just lurk, but I cannot let these quarter-truths stand as facts. Read those actual studies, particularly “methodology”.
That’s total federal spending. Money for Federal wages, money to maintain federal parks and land, money supporting Military. Even money funding Area 51. The feds own most of the land in many of those red states and spend quite a bit there. Those dollars include federal jobs including private contractors, there are huge military installations in most of those states. California gets tons of Federal money dumped into neighboring Red states just for natural resources (like WATER) and even though the money goes to the other states California is the TRUE beneficiary.
Most of the Leftist Lies are actually partial truths-which are often WORSE than outright lies. That’s why the oath you swear in a court of law states “the truth, the WHOLE truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God”.
