Virginia-Western is one of the country’s most reliable republican states, as is Louisiana. The voters massively pulled the lever of Donald Trump in 2024, hitting a decisive blow against the former vice-president Kamala Harris and his communist socialist democratic party.
However, when Chaos Trump agent still settled in the White House, tried to block federal disbursements At 50 states on Tuesday, guess who suddenly adopted government documents?
The Virginians-Western votes voted for Trump to a huge Margin 70-28. One might think that the inhabitants of Mountain State, more than anyone, would defend the ethics of autonomy and drew their boots. But no.
“(The Republican Governor of Virginia-Western Patrick Morrisey) says that his plan is to contact the Trump administration on how these gels may have an impact on federal funding for Virginians-Western on which they count for a variety of services and programs “,” Wboy reported. Don’t worry, however, he also thinks that “President Trump will be an incredible president.”
The Assalé Kissing was only progressing from there.
“I think what President Trump tries to do is generally correct,” said Morrisey. “The federal government, and frankly, the government of the State operates far beyond its means, right? Finally, you have leadership in Washington, and you have leadership here in Charleston. I will work like President Trump to solve these problems and be transparent. »»
Ah yes, the federal government spends too much money. But …
“According to Morrisey, almost 50% of the overall expenditure budget of almost $ 19.9 billion in Virginia-Western passes through federal dollars such as IGT and transfers in a way,” Wboy reported.
Fifty percent.
They hate socialism, but … 50% of the Virginie-Western Budget is subsidized by the rest of the country, and really, by blue states—In specially California, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Washington.
The high federal expenses of Virginia-Western have been strengthened for years by the apparently democratic former senator Joe Manchin. He knew How to rain federal dollars For its votersAnd his absence will now cost the billions of state he has retired.
GOOD.
If Virginians-Western people want federal aid, they can start to vote for Democrats. Otherwise, they can take advantage of the economic ruin in exchange for Trump and the “sexes” of the GOP ” propaganda.
In the Bayou, the Louisianans voted for Trump 60-38Clearly agrees with its plan to cut billions of billions from the federal budget. But when Trump took a step to do exactly this by announcing the freezing of draconian spending, state officials sang a different air.
Republican governor Jeff Landry, as well as several other GOP leaders, have published a statement Call to Trump at “Develop a responsible track to unravel us from any unnecessary and obvious policy without compromising the financial stability of the State. What the diplomatic wording could not betray is the threat to state finances if they are cut off from the federal taxpayer Dole.
Of course, they opened the statement saying: “President Trump was elected mandate to reduce government waste and increase the impact of each federal dollar taxpayers, an objective that we are adopting with all my heart.” However, few states depend more on external taxpayers than Louisiana.
While 20% of Americans are on Medicaid, this number is 40% in Louisiana. A 63% surprising Baby Livings In the Pelican state, is paid by Medicaid, so take thatDefenders of “pro-life”. Indeed, Louisiana is classified the most dependent seventh state of the country’s federal government, according to a Wallethub analysis. (Virginie-Western is classified fourth.) And According to PewIn 2022, Louisiana was the state with the highest percentage of federal government revenues, at 50.5%.
These Louisiana Republicans are not serious about the “Government Waste Cup” and Bla Bla Bla. In fact, doing what Trump would offer their condition decimal. Like all Republicans, they think that waste and ineffectiveness are found elsewhere, and their The generosity of federal funding is well deserved. And it may be! But regular state voters must be aware of what they vote.
Conclusion: If the Louisana want these federal dollars, they can start to vote Democrat.
Like shock waves of the announcement of Trump funding reverberated across the countryMost Republican governors and legislators in the red state have kept their mouth closed, probably rooted for the rapid democratic proceedings It stopped Trump’s plan. But that only delays Trump Cabal’s efforts to hack the “awakened” programs they don’t like.
It is widely known The fact that these Trump cuts are obsessed will affect republican states and voters disproportionately. But a new series of billionaire tax discounts will not pay for themselves, and the Congress Republicans have made that their absolute priority. These crumpled legislators certainly clarified that Medicaid and others programs that benefit the poorest Americans are something that they are happy to sacrifice.
