This was a typo, right?

You meant to say, $5M, like million, didn't you? Or even $500M?

The entire population of Washington DC was 712,816 in 2020. I doubt it's much higher than that now. I mean, who on earth would want to go there?

Divide B by A, that's more than $7,000 spent by each man, woman, and child. Or for a more realistic view, around $20,000 per taxpayer.

And that's before they pay for rent, food, school, transportation, heating the house, the usual taxes and fees, etc.

And just for the illegal aliens?

It flatly cannot be done by normal human beings.

Please tell me it was a typo. Please.

Notice how Joe easily sends HUNDREDS of BILLIONS towards war (and asking for another $106 BILLION), but can't seem to find the money to fix our infrastructure here (that would include the Southern Border WALL).
Liberals are unsaveable. Fortunately, they only make up 22-25% of us (depending upon survey).

Republicans are going to vote Republican (98% of them imho), & they already agree with you.

The Democrat Tent collapsing is causing some Independents to leave them, & some moderate Dems too.

"Leaving them" might mean they don't vote for President, because they hate both choices, but that helps us.

Some will go all-in Republican...especially if Biden's still in it. I've been predicting the DNC will ditch Joe (by 2-3-24).

If they trot out more White Male Millionaires (Newsom & Phillips), I don't know if the Dems can rebuild their tent, or not.

Did you know that several key States strengthened their election laws since the last elections?

Many States weakened them to allow more people to vote remotely during covid.

Many of those states have changed theri laws back to pre-covid status.

If you believe the Dems cheated in 2020, enough to change outcomes, it will be much harder to do so in 2024.

I may not have been clear enough. Mayors from 5 major cities requested a total of $5B from the feds in DC.

Maors from Chicago, Denver, LA, Houston, & NY have asked for $5B collectively.

The GOP is exclusive and does not have the resilience and flexibility to welcome new groups of "others" who do not fit their prescribed racial, religious, and rightist profile. It has an operating model that resists and expels anything but the strict party line.
Denying that former Dem voters are leaving the Dem party can be an opinion, but it's not what voters are telling the media.

-Some will stay home, and not vote.

-Some will vote only for offices & issues they want to vote for. Many will skip President completely.

-Some will move over to the Republican party.

-Some will vote for 3rd party candidates.

-Some will write-in theri own choices.

That likely outcome would shatter any hopes the dems have of doing any more harm to the economy, foreign affairs, and our Southern border.

If Libs are fixated on Trump, they could be in for a bigger picture shock of their lives...a lame Duck Dem Prez from day 1 being shoved around by Congress, the SCOTUS, & States.
