Good stuff, Cyndi. Thanks. I especially am pondering the Big Dogs dumpin’ doo doo in their yards. I say…
OK, STATES - you are in charge of ALL gummint! Florida: Save your pennies, because when the next hurricane season happens it’s on YOUR dime. Texas: Save your pennies, because the next time an ice storm sends Lyin’ Ted to Cancun,…

OK, STATES - you are in charge of ALL gummint! Florida: Save your pennies, because when the next hurricane season happens it’s on YOUR dime. Texas: Save your pennies, because the next time an ice storm sends Lyin’ Ted to Cancun, repairing your electricity infrastructure is on YOUR dime. Arizona: Don’t get me going on your lack of water. YOU fix it. Midwest farmers: Next drought? Guess what? ETC.

We have Giver States and we have Taker States. I happen to live in a Giver State. We get back $0.60 for every dollar we send to the Federal Government. (Delaware gets back a measly $0.32 per Fed. dollar, BTW.) West Virginia gets $3.09 BACK for every $1 they contribute to the NATION. <—-A Good Deal, Sen. Mancini. Be grateful, Joe!
Here’s a link to an interesting site that delineates state dependency on Federal dollars. Seven out of the ten states most dependent (Takers) typically vote Republican. Check out the other Key Findings.
Also be sure to check out the three-stage infographic “Do Democrat or Republican States Receive More Funding from the Federal Government?” It shows 1.) Overall dependency, 2.) Return on the dollar, and 3.) Fed funding % (on state budgets.)
(Important Note from above: This diatribe runs very contrary to my Conservative Christian upbringing - the “Do Unto Others” part in particular. Sometimes the Cynical Christian comes out and blurts out stuff. Sorry about that, but, sometimes when I believe I am GIVING - as I was taught - and I am “charged” as a TAKER, I get cranky.)

A very interesting page and tables but the floating band for categories interferes with reading what's on the screen.
