*US PAUSES $18B IN NYC INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING: VOUGHT *US PAUSES HUDSON TUNNEL, SECOND AVE SUBWAY FUNDING: VOUGHT *US PAUSES NYC PROJECT FUNDING BECAUSE OF DEI CONCERNS: VOUGHT— George Pearkes (@peark.es) October 1, 2025 at 10:15 AM New York pays more in taxes to the federal government than it receives and this is how we are treated. Just about every blue state pays more in taxes to the federal government than it receives, while it is the opposite for red states. |
If the South did secede from the U.S., Texas would have to carry the entire resulting country. Even Florida punches far below its weight economically. Despite having a larger population than New York, its economy is only 60 percent the size of New York, and is close to Illinois’s economy in size despite having 9 million more people.
