Which States in the USA get the most from the Federal Government?

That's right, RED STATES!!!!!!!

So my Republican friends who are always having a go at how Democrats are wasting tax payers' money, well, they are wasting their money then Republican held states. We have now proof!


It's no secret: The federal budget is expanding faster than tax revenues, a trend that's been fueled by the rapid growth of entitlement programs and exacerbated by the recession. As a recent New York Times article documents, even as fiscally conservative lawmakers complain about deficit spending, their constituents don't want to give up the Social Security checks, Medicare benefits, and earned income tax credits that provide a safety net for the struggling middle class.This gap between political perception and fiscal reality is also reflected in the distribution of tax dollars at the state level: Most politically "red" states are financially in the red when it comes to how much money they receive from Washington compared with what their residents pay in taxes.

So much for those, so called, fiscal conservatives.

Hypocrisy at its best!!

P.D. Don't go crying that this is supposed to be "religious" blog. This blog was created to see ALL things from a Christian view point.
