Same old story. Blue states get our wealth distributed to poor red states. Then we get shoved aside when we need a little hand.


Let’s talk about fairness, Mitch.

Pensions for greedy union scum that have been underfunded for years have nothing to do with Coronavirus.

Keep your damn hands out of my pockets.

So we divide the defense spending and then because NY has more people then Kentucky, we tax New York more than Kentucky... See how that works? I doubt NY would go along with that. .

As someone who is neither red nor blue, I don't really care. Neither party can claim to be the party of fiscal responsibility. Certainly not the right. Both pieces on the chessboard controlled by the same people who throw out issues they really don't care about to distract you from what they do care about. They've mastered the art of misdirection for decades.

I would really, really like to hear what Mitch McConnell would say when asked for an opinion on this.

Red state?

so you’ve had your hands in the blue state pockets for decades and finally the blue states want some of their money back from you?

Pension obligations funded.

New York: 88.3%

Kentucky: 48.9%

Kentucky should fix its own problems before taking shots at other states.

This division by state political allegiance is divisive and needs to be put to bed. We're all in this together.
