for every dollar Oregon or Washington puts into the Federal pot we get back 60 cents to 80 cents back. States like Kentucky, Texas and other southern red states make more money staying in te federal system. That money Oregonians and Washingtonians contribute could go to our healthcare systems or better give complete universal healthcare in Cascadia. Our sister states of Cascadia have been literally destroyed by being in this bad federation. Maybe its is a good deal for Maryland, but its bad for us in the Pacific Northwest (Cascadia).
