Just to clarify, TN is barely a net contributor to the federal budget. They are a net contributor by $4 billion, NY state is a net contributor of $89 billion.
Hey now at least it shows that against all odds TN is at least a vaguely functional state. It’s not a Mississippi where it’s dead in the water or Idaho where it has some potential but would require billions in infrastructure improvements alone.
