Great! Liberate their federal money and build the wall.

New York state budget and finances

The table below notes what share of New York’s general revenues came from the federal government in 2014. That year, New York received approximately $48.2 billion in federal aid, 32.8 percent of the state's general revenues.

Imagine what it is in 2018!

if he’s “independent” from the Federal government, then not one red dime to New York.

He’s like the 15 year old who complains about the house rules and thinks dad should buy an electric car to save the planet.

I presume, then, that the USA can liberate itself FRom the billions in federal aid that is sent to New York?

Turnabout IS fair play, is it not?

In 2002, gross federal tax collections from New York state were $202 billion.

I don’t know how much came back into the state through programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, etc., but there are two sides to the ledger. Quoting the amount of money the state government gets from the federal government is only part of the story.

Yep. Impound not only that, but refuse to seat the entire New York delegation in the new session of congress.

Looks like PLENTY of money to build the Wall, Mr Trump.

Please grab this opportunity.

After all, New York residents do benefit from fewer invaders.

Time also to kick the UN out of New York.
