Raise taxes and cut pork. Also start subsidizing states based on how much tax revenue. No more letting places like utah or west virginia leech money from states like new york.
True. It's interesting that overall the Republican states tend to benefit more from federal spending than they contribute in taxes, while the Democratic states obviously are thus the opposite.
A lot of that may be because of the Senate and electoral college giving disproportionate influence to the small states. Also states like Iowa have too much influence for other political reasons.
