@MitchRe75531722@BIZZLEML@GovBillLee Yeah you’re not blindly biased at all yourself. You’ve been on this earth how long and you still think only one side lies?
@MitchRe75531722@BIZZLEML@GovBillLee In 2019 (most recent #’s available) TN paid 69.7 billion in federal taxes. We got 38.5 billion from them. But you stick with your partisan story that makes you look smart. Sorry old timer, this isn’t the 70’s where news story’s are honest.
@valandspence@veryvirology@NottaGlitch Depends where. Western TN on the river could have issues. Middle TN upstream of the ohio/Mississippi River should be ok. Upstream east of Dickson TN areas get water from Cumberland watershed that starts in east TN and flows west
@Patrick_Long@EllenDatlow@GovBillLee Direct rewards, contracts and benefits are mostly earned funds (govt contract a business wins). Much like your earned funds that let your family have a net 10k over the course of a year. You really don’t want to see the truth do you…
@Samm1972 @JMiller477 @GovBillLee You don’t understand that stat fully. You’re being told information that you’re relaying to me, you’re not looking at data and forming an independent opinion
@Samm1972 @JMiller477 @GovBillLee How is it welfare if we are giving them 3x more than they give us. We could easily move up in that meaningless ranking by spending recklessly and taxing everyone to death like CA and NY. We are fiscally conservative so our amount spent is less
@JMiller477 @GovBillLee That link is counting personal social security and entitlements which are earned benefits paid in over the life of a resident, not exactly honest. The real numbers that the state govt receives from the fed is 18.5 billion.
@JMiller477 @GovBillLee While that percentage is true, Tennessee pays over 69 billion in federal taxes, and gets 18.5 billion back. Not exactly a welfare state. Washington is the welfare state.
