You're addressing a different issue. My point is that we should not bail them out when they mismanage. I was not criticizing them because they don't send enough to Washington. By analogy, I would not want the federal government to bail out a billionaire if he got into financial trouble. That's not the same as criticizing him because of how much he pays in taxes.
To my knowledge, the Federal government has never bailed out New York, despite mismanagement that runs rampant.
The state government just mismanages all the time, and waits for a stock market rally to bail them out.
