Re: Observer, you're right, I was wrong, CA only gets 91.5 cents in Federal monies back on the Federal taxes we pay.....

Yeah, the problem with your math is that this "number" you cite is only the "total' CA Federal taxes we pay.

As of 2013, that was 343 billion dollars annually. And, you seem to have neglected to find out the amount we recieve back? And, you do know this is necessary to calculate the "surplus" or "deficit" in monies returned to the state, right?

So that's just the 359 billion dollar estimated total we paid as of last year, it's not a "surplus" or "deficit" of anything, just the total amount.....you do understand that, right?

The problem with your response lies in your math skills. Since, CA only got back approximately 314 billion dollars in all Federal expenditures in CA, as of 2013, which is the other "number" you need, to do the complex calculation necessary, in order to "prove" that anything I said doesn't "rings true".

And, you do know that you have to divide that total Federal taxes paid by CA by the total of expenditures, in order to get the percentage we recieve back, or donate to other states, right?

You are right though, I did get the number wrong.

I was wrong about it being 93 cents on the dollar. Its' actually gotten even worse since I retired. When you divide total Federal taxes paid by CA, by the amount of Federal funds CA receives, as of 2013, CA only gets back about 91.5 cents in Federal spending back on each dollar California generates in Federal revenues. Or 91.5% of the Federal taxes we send to Washington......

I also recently saw one report that the US is now purportedly ranked 43rd, among other nations competing with us, in "adult" math and science literacy.......which doesn't really surprise me.

That came to over a billion a year in highway trust funds paid by CA, that we don't get back, when I was working. Over the last twenty years of my career, that would have been nearly 23 billion dollars, CA "donated" in highway funds to the rest of the nation. And, I could have funded a lot of freeways and trains back here in CA, for that extra billion a year we "donated".
