First, McConnell refused to budge on coronavirus aid to cash-strapped cities, counties and states.
Now the Republicans are holding up the coronavirus emergency aid bill in a dispute whether or not the Federal Reserve bank can help states and local government.
States and local governments cannot run deficits. They have to balance the books. And so when the Republicans refuse to help them, city police departments have to take budget cuts. The Republicans in Congress are therefore defunding the police. That's the effect it's going to have.
"Cash-strapped" cities are full of people who aren't working because of the failure of their Democratic leadership. Screw them! People here have been working through the entire "pandemic". Maybe they let people go back to work, stop doing the fake testing, stop supporting illegal aliens who are costing the taxpayers............. Put a foot up the butt of the Democratic leadership for best results!
Haven't some of the liberal dives already "defunded" the police, and it had nothing to do with a stimulus or not!
Oh, boo-hoo, maybe it is just time to get back to work!
As I said you can find a list to support any position as you have just proven. I'll give you a hint on Virginia, 1 were right there so many of the Federal Agencies have chosen to relocate their offices in the state, 2. we have the largest Naval Base Complexes in the country with the other branches also being well represented at various bases. Drive into Maryland you will see the same thing.
But Federal Spending is not Federal Dependence as I posted, Virginia is #40 on that chart where New Mexico, Kentucky and Mississippi are the top recipients. Those in poverty winners are clearly in the GOP's column with Mississippi being the winner, 8 of the 10 worst are in the GOP camp..
Single mothers "Mississippi leads the nation with the highest percent of births to unmarried mothers with 54% in 2014, followed by Louisiana, New Mexico, Florida and South Carolina.[6]"
I won't comment on Blacks because again you know what states are going to win that false claim also.
So lets see the largest recipient needing Federal Assistance are Republican States
Poverty Leader are Republican states
Most Single Mothers, you got it Republican States
Biggest group on welfare are those living in these Republican States that make the top 10 list.
It would seem wise for Republicans to acknowledge that they are the biggest ones with their hand out. They may low ball their state budgets so they can say look how responsible they are but they are grabbing with both hands from the Federal Bucket as all the different tables show...
#1 Virginia gets more than twice as much money as they pay in. They are the biggest leach state. If you are upset about states getting back more than they pay in, you wouldn't keep excusing this, but you do. Your position is full of hypocritical crocodile tears.
#2 Blue states are more fiscally irresponsible from vote buying.
#3 Blue voters are more likely to be on welfare. You don't care about that sort of paying in less than they get back, because this is all hypocritical politics for you.
#4 Blue voters are more likely to be living in poverty. Large amounts of blue voters in red states living in poverty voting for handouts.

Oh please now blame the republicans for democrats over spending in their states. Ridiculous as usual...it’s time for them to open their states and fix their budgets.

#1 comprehension alludes you as I posted they have more Federal Facilities
#2 Rubbish, just plain rubbish
#3 And yet all the Red states are the top winners in the Welfare Bowl, go explain that one...
#4 Cute if they live in poverty but reside in a red state they must be Democratic voters...
Keep drinking the Kool-Aid and don't take off your shades because the reality of the real world is going to be a shock for you...

1. When discussing federal tax money spent versus put in, no liberal whines about the federal military bases heavily in red states and how that shouldn't be held against them.
Fact is Virginia gets more than double the tax money back from the federal government. That benefits Virginia. Virginia mooches and it benefits their economy.
Your hypocrisy on selectively caring shows you are BSing.
2. It is a statistical fact that blue states on average have worse finances. Ive posted multiple studies and you can't counter with any thing of substance. Vote buying. That is why blue states have the worst finances on average. Vote buying.
3-4. You know factually speaking Democrats are more likely to be on welfare. That is why you won't address that point head on. Because doing so would once again highlight your hypocrisy of being highly selective when you care about money in versus money out.
Also you know that there are massive blue demographics in a state like Mississippi. For example, the large black population in the state are reliable Democrats. You are avoiding something that you know is true, because you aren't trying to be honest. The foundation of your argument is a lie. That is who you are.

You honestly can't comprehend simple elementary level statistics? Democrats are more likely to be on welfare. That doesn't mean there are no Republicans on welfare.
It's the dum-dum dems that have destroyed their tax base. The police are just one example of public servants who have their budgets cut.
