GOP: Chaos ends up hurting everyone
In a recent My Turn, Art Macomber argues that Republicans in North Idaho should stop doing the splits. This is one of the few things that Macomber and I will agree upon. Chaos in the Republican Party harms Democrats (like me), too.
Macomber suggests that North Idaho should free itself of federal funding. This would be a spectacular blunder for Idaho (*), because it presently receives about 70 percent more in federal funding than it pays in federal income tax. In contrast, Washington state gets 88 cents on the dollar for its federal taxes. Comparing the size of WA’s and ID’s economies, Idaho’s extra federal funding is paid for by those godless commies in Seattle.
