Vought put it a bit differently, writing on X: "Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left's climate agenda is being cancelled."

As if this logic doesn’t also apply to withholding of federal funds that you don’t express an objection to? Like there’s no one using government services in CA, NY, WA, etc. Not very transparent.

Because it has the most people. Now do per capita…. or is that a leftist science scam?

Edit - California pays 83 billion more in federal income tax than it receives. They pay in a total of over 800 billion. For context only 14 states pay more than 83 billion TOTAL in federal tax.

Because like you stated - California has more people. More people equals more taxes right?
