There is no such thing as "federal money." All of the money that government hands out to states comes from the citizens of the 50 states and the federal government's creditors, such as China. The feds take a big cut and then send what's left back to states, counties, and local communities. A large chunk of the People's money lands in the Washington suburbs, where most of the nation's most affluent counties are located.

Federal politicians and bureaucrats are running a legal Ponzi scheme.
