If I recall the great "chart" folks depended on was a slight distortion of the facts as well. If memory serves (I might be wrong) the issue was "how much federal spending" in each State per capita. Didn't take into account (or hid) military bases, federal installations and things like that. Take Oklahoma for example. Not huge in population, but four military bases here alone, two of which are pretty large. As well as the Reservations which are covered under the Federal Government. So, that kind of thing can skew the numbers hugely when put out on a proportional basis with the population (OK is roughly 1.2% of the population of the US)
But when compared to Caifornia with 12% of the total population of the US, those numbers shrink significantly.
No. What you postulate was a meme on VN and other places, but I posted the stats including the military. That only made things worse, i.e. most blue states are even bigger givers and red states are even bigger takers. We all need to let that particular meme die a quiet death.
I'm traveling now, or I'd look up the stats again. They were VERY easily found with a simple Google search if you want to confirm it yourself.
After eight years of scandal and lawlessness, it looks like the beginning of the end may finally be coming for former President Barack Obamas cronies.
Appearing on Hugh Hewitts radio show Thursday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions told the conservative talk show host that a special prosecutor may be appropriate and soon be needed to investigate Obama-loyalists Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch.
Sessions was asked about the IRS targeting scandal, the Fast and Furious case, former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons email servers, and other Obama-era scandals that were swept under the rug by the former administration, and Hewitt suggested some kind of outside counsel could be appropriate because theyd have the authority to bring charges if underlying crimes were uncovered.

Get'em!
Excellent.
Once Sessions et al. clean out the scandals of the Clinton-Obama crew, we can then promptly escort his sorry perjuring rear to prison, along with Bannon, Trump, Kushner, Ivanka, Flynn, Manafort, Stone, Page, Miller, and the whole gaggle of thieves.
Drain the swamp, indeed.
