I originally thought this was satire. We all know that King Cuomo will never declare independence from Federal money coming into his state.

Well, it WAS posted by Laz!
“We all know that King Cuomo will never declare independence from Federal money coming into his state.”
If “independence” from the Federal Government is what he wants, I say give it to him, but with the understanding that the money flow from the Federal coffers stops completely. Maybe he can form the Confederacy of New England and spare the rest of us supporting the Marxist Governments of New Jersey, Massachusetts, Toad Island, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Might want to throw in Pennsylvania for good measure. Good riddance to all of it. It has been the “seed” of the Marxist “thought” in the United States for the past 100 years or more. Whatever patriotism existed there during the Revolution, is long gone! America is financing Coumo’s “goals” by giving his state, and probably the others as well, more Federal money than they contribute. They should be re-named the Socialist Beggar States because they are allowed to operate by the use of money contributed by the rest of us. The same is probably true for The Left Coast States as well.
How much does NY send in vs. what they get back?
(This is actually a very tricky question, as some “benefits”, such as military protection, are hard to quantify.)
BTW, Post 46 answered my question to you, partially, but the value of what NY “gets back” in return for what its citizens and businesses “send in” to FedGov would probably take a very long book to answer, and conservative analysts would have a much different answer than libs, IMO. :-)
