On the recordNovember 14, 2017
I just wanted to point out, in the State of New York, we send $48 billion a year more to the Federal Government than we get back from the Federal Government. We are the largest net donor in America to the Federal Government. We are contributing this money to subsidize many programs that our colleagues don't want to support, but we are also supporting their States. Many of the blue States in America, quite frankly, are huge net donors to the Federal Government, and many of the red States are huge net takers from the Federal Government. This is just another slap in the face to States like ours.
