I mean, Mitch McConnell's Kentucky gets a net federal inflow of 20% of state GDP, paid for by places like New York and New Jersey. KY is as much a ward of the national government as East Germany or Southern Italy 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

We say that we don't have "space-based" or regional policies in the US. But de facto the combination of national safety-net programs and unequal incomes means huge transfers to poorer states – many of which vote for people who claim to hate big government 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Why have these transfers grown? As I said, I'm not sure I trust the data comparison. But the growth of Medicaid, on one side, and the rising incomes and hence tax payments of the 0.1% – who tend to live in Manhattan, not Louisville – probably explain it 6/ — PolitiTweet.org
