America's fiscal union: map/chart of federal fiscal transfers between US states

It's not mentioned in the article at all, but Minnesota is #2 in the nation for giving away money to other states.

Yeah, I was surprised by that. How comes Minnesota is so well-off?

Weber says hi.

I'd prefer to have one that averaged % of GDP per year. Regardless, the EU is not ready for these levels of transfer.

I'd be interested to hear whether Opebo in analogy thinks that NY, MN and so on are the problem states that must be kicked out of the US?

No, fiscal union with large scale redistribution (through progressive taxation and a welfare state) works just as well.

But you would want the Northeast to be more like the South, right? Stop their destructive policies and become poorer?
