Trying to explain this to people in “red” states is exhausting af. I am from NC and grew up in NC, GA, VA, FL & mostly WA — you can tell when a state is managing his budget properly and when it’s not. “Blue” states aren’t perfect but they are keeping all of America afloat.

"California paid in a lot more [to the federal government] than it got back — $83 billion in total. So did Washington state and much of the Northeast. Most red states were in the reverse position, getting much more from DC than they paid in return."
