Please justify why MY federal tax dollars should be used in YOUR state for YOUR crumbling infrastructure.
This is yet another case of wealth transfer from fiscally prudent states to profligate and wastrel states that piss away TONS of tax payer money on liberal feel good projects.
We just got tax reform done that ends cross subsidies to high tax states tjat are used to help people there with high mortgages (SALT deductions). This is exactly the same thing.
You should not care if I have bridge or road problems in my town. It is as inappropriate for us to get federal grants as it is for you.
Let the STATES decide and pay for it.
You’re entitled to your opinion.

My understanding is sending money to DC to then be sent back to the states wastes about 25% I think I saw that on education fund about ten years ago.
