If states like CA and NY are getting such a raw deal why don't they want to change it? This tired old trope needs to be taken out back and shot. The net in or out flow from any given state is not enough to substantially impact anything. Pretty much every state gets back what it puts in plus or minus 10-20%. Considering that each state is putting in a number that is only a small fraction of its GDP the overall difference is negligible. I think most people in the states that are getting paid would consider the economic hit to be a cheap price to pay for removing federal oversight from the things those dollars pay for. Furthermore, even the poor states are just fine by European standards.[1][2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territ...
