Something liberals seem not to understand is that government does not and cannot create wealth. The federal government destroys wealth. Losing so-called federal money would be to lose nothing - because roughly 40 percent of the money that the federal government spends is borrowed. Any state that managed to secede from the union, would lose their share of the annual debt that Washington accumulates. Of course, liberals would not stand by idly and watch the citizens of any state regain their sovereign rights.

Do you think Kentucky could survive without government money(money that other states citizens send)? They do get more than they give, you know. You did acknowledge that money KY gets come from citizens from all 50 states.

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.
