So does South Dakota now become just Dakota?

North and South Dakota



See, there's an oil well out there to the right.

 

Chuck Klosterman feels a little bit hipper and doesn't know why.

 

Federal money coming has far outpaced what was taken away.

 

As opposed to Texas, a net looser in fed money despite having a president in office for 12 of the last 23 years.

 

It is impossible to accurately compute a true amount of Federal money in/out.

How much Federal money is spent on in ND on food stamps, unemployment benefits, etc., per capita? Far less than most, I'd expect. How much in Federal income and oil extraction taxes did the ND oil booms of the 1980s and the one underway now generate for the Feds?

Is the Federal money spent on the Standing Rock and Fort Totten reservations included in this total? It shouldn't be, because those are payments to soverign nations, not to the citizens or government of the state of North Dakota.

How much benefit has Texas received from NASA-related spending and job creation over the decades, when the only reason it was headquartered in Houston was because of influential Texans in the Federal government?

How much Federal disaster relief money has Texas received countless times over for hurricane repairs, or for the extensive intersate highway projectsetc.? How much Federal money is being spent on border enforcement in Texas?

This whole "winners and losers" argument is stupdi. Remember, out of many, one.

 

About to be 16 of the last 28.
