Georgia’s Representative Marjorie Taylor-Greene has proposed that the Red States (Republican) should separate from the Blue States (Democrat) on an economic level. What she fails to realize or just wants to excite her followers is those Red States get more money from the Blue States than they send to it.
Tens of billions goes to repair or build their infrastructure and military bases. Billions more go to subsidize the poor and underpaid residents in those states. Red States have a greater percentage of those people than the Blue States do. Billions more go to Red States after floods and hurricanes.
Red States criticize the Federal Government for the activities of the EPA and other regulatory agencies; agencies which make their states healthier and more livable.
Maybe the Congressional budget office should do a quick little research project on what would happen to Georgia if all the military bases were closed, all the Federal funds for infrastructure was retained, Federal offices were moved out, all the Federal Agencies was pulled out of Georgia Airports, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and Supplemental Aid was removed. I bet her constituents would kick her out within hours of it being publicized. One thing about the right wingers or radicals, they will turn on their leaders in moments.
