Popularity is a shit measure to be using for the primary reason for any program to exist.
Stuff the nation needs to have and do, stuff that's effective economically, etc. Popularity is a piss poor reason for something to exist on it's own. Mob rule never works and that's what you are advocating for when it comes right down to it.
That's bullshit. Pull out the federal money for programs that aren't people based and the blue states overwhelm the red ones. You are using a common method of camouflaging things by the Left. For example, the Left claims "Immigrants cause less crime." They conflate legal and illegal immigration to water down the FACT that illegal immigrants go to prison at roughly three times their numbers in the population and commit far more crime, particularly violent crime, as but one example.
By including stuff that is geographic or otherwise not attached to the population that the federal government spends on and using that as the basis for each state's federal funding, the Left gets to camouflage the massive costs of the social welfare state in blue states. For example, in Florida Cape Canaveral exists with NASA and the space program. That is geographic and the money spent by the feds in Florida on that program are not population related but geographic. Yet, that spending is rolled into the amount Florida gets by the Left.
Artificial idiocy is meaningless.
For example it claims the majority of people using the ACA live in Republican congressional districts. How does this break down to people paying for an Obamacare plan in the marketplace and those getting expanded Medicaid for "free" from the federal government?
