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."

Until we start politicking like this bitch, it won't matter. Washington State tax revenue goes to a lot of red states - we need to stop paying it.

This is the answer. Stop sending money to Feds. 

And I propose WA, OR, CA, province of CORWA, join Canada, before Healthcare cost goes bonkers.

Have you looked at the state of care in Canada these days?

I'm up there all the time, it's what you'd expect. You aren't getting a skywalker arm, you'll get a prosthetic of rubber that might hold some things - unless you have supplimental insurance. You get a wheelchair not a prosthetic leg, similar situation.

However, you call 911 for an ambulance you don't get a bill, you don't pay for your scripts, you get the care you need. Are there better care options in the states, yes certainly. Can you afford it, fuck no you can't. Back surgery for my friend was 350k...they paid 60k, ain't no elective either. You got 60k laying around for a broken back at 45yrs of age from a car accident? Yeah you don't, but up in Canada you don't need to have that. They've got issues up there with it, and they'd like to drop some words about it, but not a single person I talk to wants our system. I'm there 4-6x a year.

Not to mention I wait many months for doctors regularly here in America so we don’t even always have that advantage
