Minnesota loses 28 cents on every Federal dollar

So all eight of their Congressional districts send some clown to Washington who demands they pay more!
But Democrats, who are resistant to across-the-board cuts, say the current opposition to raising the debt limit is little more than political posturing.

"Proposing it kind of signals a certain lack of seriousness," said U.S. Sen. Al Franken, a Democrat. "It would be a disaster of untold proportions."

Minnesota citizens, you lose more money than California, how's your state budget? Minnesota has a $7 billion budget shortfall, over a $32 billion dollar budget cycle. That is a lot of budget cutting for a state that subsidizes Washington.  The following states lose the most to the  Republican Communists:

New York $0.79 42
California $0.78 43
Delaware $0.77 44
Illinois $0.75 45
Minnesota $0.72 46
New Hampshire $0.71 47
Connecticut $0.69 48
Nevada $0.65 49
New Jersey $0.61 50

Minnesota is the fourth most genereous, Senator Reid is genereous to Washington with a whopping 35% of Nevada tax money, and Nevada is hurting. I notice that Democrats seem to be foolish with the money of their state citizens.

Minnesota citizens, when you cut $7 billion from the next state budget, you can thank Al Franken all the way to the poor house.
