New York accounts for the highest amount of government spending because it is run by dems who can't balance a budget compounded by being a sanctuary city. Most blue states that accepted illegals are having the same problem. If and when we can deport all of these freeloaders, it should be a tax relief to all the red states.

Should New York start having city owned grocery stores, people will starve and it will become a hell-hole. Communisum never did work and it never shall. President Trump must find a way to deport Mamdani who is poison to Capitalism. A Republic has private property, the profit motive, market competition, and a limited role for government. The radical left shall cause the distruction of their state and I hope New Yorkers find some common sense. We must have the moderate Eric Adams, if NY is to survive

Very interesting and informative. I intend to research the fiscal soundness of all 50 states. Provision of federal funds based solely on a state’s balanced budget (sliding scale?) sounds reasonable to me. Imagine the wailing (hissing) and gnashing of teeth that would come to pass. A couple of states immediately come to mind. Of course, a balanced federal budget might be nice, first.

Happy Independence Day🇺🇸
