[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 2021, the government and government enterprises industry added the most real value to the gross domestic product (GDP) of the District of Columbia, amounting to around 41.93 billion U.S. dollars. Comparatively, the manufacturing industry contributed around 281 million U.S. dollars to the districts real GDP.

I am assuming that of you want to be a state you don’t get to keep the entire government and government enterprises.

From there I’m looking at the 2 states comparable by population (you said, we can support ourselves just like these similar states).  Well their GDP is 5-6x less but they in fact have something to produce. We not so much. So we’d have to find other ways to attract the producers.

It’s nuts to me to demand statehood first and then we’ll figure if out. [/quote]

So 75%+ of the GDP is dependent on DC status as the federal district? Then we also get at least 25% of the budget and the free judiciary. Plus the multiplier effect. Good luck.[/quote]
