[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The D.C. Fiscal Policy institute estimates that if D.C. were a state, it would have a net gain of $1 billion (it would be able to tax commuters, among other revenue changes, which would more than offset the additional costs of operating state services the feds currently pay for): https://www.dcfpi.org/all/the-high-cost-of-denying-statehood-to-the-district-of-columbia/[/quote] DCGPI also said DC could afford to expand entitlements funded by a national leading income tax increase. So they don’t have a lot of credibility. [/quote] We probably could afford to expand entitlements if we increased income taxes. The fact that you don’t want income taxes raised doesn’t mean the financial analysis behind the idea lacks credibility. [/quote]
