      Would be nice. Too bad Newsom and Pelosi are too in on the grift to care about their constituents.

        Let’s just give them the capitalism they say they want. We’re sending Red states a far larger amount of federal funds than they send in (I believe the stat is red states average $2 received for every dollar sent and it’s like 70¢ for every dollar sent is returned to blue states.

        Red states are literally welfare states. What happened to bootstraps there?
