Then Gracefully Fund Whatever California Deems Suitable

A rant on Facebook:

Oh, so NOW you care about federal funding? That’s cute.

Let’s talk about California….the state everyone loves to roast but can’t live without. 

While folks in red states rage about “liberal elites” and “big government,” California quietly cuts the check that keeps their towns running. 

Fact:

▪️California pays over $80 billion more in federal taxes than it gets back. That’s not generosity, that’s subsidizing dysfunction. Meanwhile:

▪️Kentucky: Gets $3.35 for every $1 paid.

▪️Mississippi: Basically double dips on federal aid.

▪️West Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas: Inhaling federal cash like it’s oxygen.

These are the same states screaming about handouts and socialism.

You hate big government?  

Cool.

Give the money back.

But no…..

▪️red states cash the checks, build roads, fund hospitals, subsidize farmers, then hop on Facebook to lecture California about “freedom.”

▪️It’s like borrowing your neighbor’s WiFi and calling them lazy.

Now Trump wants to punish California’s universities, because students protested.

And Gavin Newsom fires back with, “Maybe we stop sending our taxes to D.C.”

And honestly?

Do it.

Pull the plug.

Let’s see who survives.

Because if California stopped sending money:

▪️Red states would collapse in a month.

▪️Farm subsidies? Gone. 9▪️Disaster relief? Sorry.

▪️Highway funding? Walk.

▪️Medicaid expansion? Never existed.

Defund the freeloaders.

▪️Let’s see who really believes in capitalism.

▪️You don’t get to scream “personal responsibility” while living off someone else’s wallet.

You’re not self-made.

You’re California-made.

And rent’s due.
