Cuomo calls out McConnell on Kentucky's federal freeloading

California 12% of the population of the USA house 34% of the welfare dollars.

California gets nearly half a trillion in Federal aid, almost twice as much as the 2nd most for a state.
Great. Now do the other half of the equation. Subtract that from what Cali pays in to the federal govt.

Federal freeloading is the subject at hand. Not how much federal spending they receive.

California gets back MORE than they pay in, source USA Today. :itsok:
 
Federal spending 2019

New York $87,750,863,585

Kentucky $12,153,196,399

New York, and Cuomo, can STFU.



What does any of that have to do with how much each state pays or doesn't pay in to the federal govt?.

If NY still pays in $100+b over and above the federal spending they receive, how are they freeloaders?
This whole hoax about states receiving "welfare" is the lowest kind of fraud. The TDS morons resort to this so they can sweep all kinds of spending under the rubric "welfare" and pin it on the red states. A military base is not "welfare." Highway spending is not "welfare." A contract to build an F16 fighter is not "welfare." Who knows what else they are including under scam. The point is to denigrate Republicans by classifying stuff as "welfare" (which everyone looks down on) that isn't really welfare so they can attribute it to Republicans.

Nonsense.
 
Kentucky receives 148 billion more fed money than they put in.
New York puts in $116 billion more than they receive.
Yet Mitch McConnell of Kentucky wants no more federal aide for New York.
Andrew Cuomo (April 23, 2020): Let’s talk about fairness, Mitch. NYS puts $116 billion more into the federal pot than we take out. Kentucky TAKES $148 billion more from the federal pot than they put in. But we don't deserve help now because the 15,000 people who died here were predominately democrats?

Moscow Mitch Rides Again. I wonder how that Russian Aluminum plant is coming along in Kentucky? Got to admit, he did his best to quash the knowledge of Russian interference in the 2016 election. Bet he didn't know his own republican controlled Senate Intelligence Committee would side with the House and all the intelligence agencies. At least he tried and the Russians are holding up their end, last I heard.


Did the Russians fool you into voting for Trump with Facebook ad? You probably shouldn't walk and chew gum at the same time?

I don't do facebook. It is to prone to false information and easily spreading propaganda. I was specifically trained to resist propaganda. I voted 3rd party for the first time in my life, because neither party's candidate was fit to run the country. Thankfully the Hill did not get elected. Too bad it turns out I was right about trump. Oh yes, I'm not bad at walking and chewing gum. Skiing above 10,000 feet in a blinding snow storm, not so much, but I got over it. Be glad when we all get over the trump presidency.

Ah yes, the 3rd party wasted voter.....How did that vote work out for ya?

Got exactly what I wanted. A clear conscience, knowing I did not help put either of those two main party, despicable candidates in office, but exercised my vote for someone who had potential to do less harm than than the two low road candidates of the two main parties. Many people chose between the lesser of two evils. I can't do that. I will not do that.

Despicable huh? So you have a president working to put this country back to greatness again, the other wanted to continue the fundamental transformation of America into a 3rd world shithole, so you vote for some worthless candidate who has a snowballs chance in hell, and you have a clear conscience.....Bwaaahhhaaaaa....That is just too fucking funny.

What utter horse sh#t flowes from you fingertips. I take it you voted for the liar-n-chief. Character counts with me. Both were people of bad character. My experience is, people who willingly follow people of bad character usually are of bad character themselves. If you get in a jamb, you don't want someone to lie to you, someone just out for themselves. You don't want someone who sides with your enemies. I lean toward people in leadership positions that will under promise and over deliver. I owe nothing to your two parties. I certainly owe nothing to our current president. I will do my part to vote him out in November. It is the American way.


Strong words....why don't you tell us who you voted for in the last 8 presidential elections or however many you voted in.

I'll give it from the beginning. Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama, Obama, and Gary Johnson. Nixon because I lean conservative, he was for getting out of Vietnam and my lottery number was 42. Carter because of Nixon and Ford's pardon. Reagan because I didn't like how Carter worked out. Reagan because I lean conservative, liked his policy stance and he was an excellent communicator and debater. Reagan again because I liked him the first time. Bush, because I like Reagan and thought it would be a continuation, plus we agreed on supply side economics being the same as voodoo economic. Bill Clinton because I liked his policies, wanted a change for change sake, and he was a good communicator and debater. Clinton again, because because the country was working well with him there and Newt in Congress. Loved the balance budget forced by Newt. Gore for same reason I voted for Bush, figured 4 more good years for the country and he is from my home state. Kerry because I was opposed to war in Iraq the Bush got us into. Obama because I lost tens of thousands of dollars in the Bush crash and the plant I had been on management staff with for years had closed. Obama, because I was employed again as an expert in my field, though not at same level, but making money again and making good progress putting my financial house back in order in preparation for retirement. Gary Johnson because he had experience as a state governor, figure he knew how government worked, didn't seem to lie to me, he was for balanced budget, against the multiple wars we were in and against the failed war on drugs. I regret none of my votes (including Nixon), even the ones that did not win. During same time I supported and voted for a host of republican Representatives,Senators and Govenors (one still in the Senate since I first vote for him for his first term as governor to get rid of the crooked Democrat (pardon selling) Ray Blanton, the same year I voted for Nixon. I have voted for a Dem governor or two, but they worked out. Tennessee has a pretty good history of governance on governors after Blanton was gone by Lamar Alexander being sworn in early to stop more pardon sale during Blanton's final week in office.

So you voted for Obama the 1st time because of White Guilt? Then the second time because you are just a fucking moron?

You really attempting to just be obnoxious or are you just that type of guy? You have a reading comprehension problem. I told you I did not support the iraq war and Bush crashed the economy while I was laying on a beach, causing me huge losses and threatening our retirement that was approach. Here we are after 3 years of you dumb ass and the economy is trashed again. Again it will need a Democrat to come clean up the mess, although I do realize trump did not start the pandemic. He just reacted poorly to it, by normalvlack of character and ignorance of how government works. How could you support him? The Republican party is not totally bad economically. They are just extremely unlucky in national office, all the way back to George Bush Senior. Last lucky Republican was Ronald Reagan. I had a big steak in Reagan, not only voting form but serving in uniform as an Armor Officer during his term, in case he was unlucky, plus it suited suited me. Gotta go. Crap to do. Brother-in- law's pool slide arriving. You can insult later.

Kentucky has TWO huge Army bases. NY has ?


There are 4 Army bases - including West Point, and 2 Navy bases...dumbass!

These may not be huge, but it's were the Army's leadership is educated.
 
Sure there is. Everyone who gets a check from the government without giving anything in exchange is receiving welfare.
We're talking about states, dope.
I know. That's so you can obscure the facts. It's an attempt to deceive. Welfare isn't the difference between what a state receives from Washington and what it pays to Washington. Is Texas getting "welfare" because the federal government buys F16 fighters that are built in Fort Worth?

Only idiots believe that.

I wish we had a law that prohibits any state from receiving more federal tax dollars than they contribute.

Most blue states receive less money than we contribute. Most red states receive more money than they contribute.

The red states don't properly tax their population so depends on tax dollars from blue states to pay their bills. In other words. They're deadbeats. Yet they condemn us in the blue states for properly taxing our states.

If a state can't survive on their own they shouldn't mooch off the rest of us.

They should do what they demand others do. Pull themselves up by their own boot straps and stop mooching off us.

We in the blue states wouldn't have to pay as high state taxes if we weren't being robbed by the red states.

I'm so tired of them leaching off us while complaining that liberals are lazy and welfare states. When the exact opposite is the true reality.


Blue states wouldn't have to pay such high tax rates if they would stop electing big government high tax leftists. Elect dems because Republicans are racistsexisthomophobicbigothaters. Lather rinse repeat.

Military contracting is one huge fraud.

The entire military industrial complex is socialism with a fatcat middleman and nothing more!
