[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://usafacts.org/articles/which-states-rely-the-most-on-federal-aid/ Maryland is not among the biggest takers, by any metric. [/quote]

They're referring to the fact that MD relies a ton on govt jobs, and grants going to all sorts of 'community activist' orgs that employ people. If the govt divested away from the DMV MD, and especially MoCo, would be absolutely T boned. [/quote]
This is an absurd hypothetical. Maryland evolved the way it did due to its proximity to the government. If not, it would rely on some other industry. You can’t assume no other industry would substitute Maryland’s workforce[/quote]
And yet we can look across the river at Virginia and see a counter example of a place that used the government as a stepping stone to diversify their economy. [/quote]
All those IT sweatshops in VA rely on the federal government. More government workers live in VA[/quote]Ah yes, Capital One Bank, that famous IT sweatshop, sucking at the governments teat.  :lol: [/quote]
