@realDonaldTrump @NJTRANSIT I am proud to announce that the federal government will receive $11.5 billion more from the people of NJ than the federal government will give back to them (same as every year). This $$$ will keep people moving in welfare states like Kentucky. Together, we will prevail!
Congress raises funds from the people & distributes to states as it sees fit. This is not President Trump's money, his responsibility, or his place to take credit: especially galling for NY/NJ who together contribute $33.5 billion more to federal government than we get back.
For no other reason than spite & hatred President Trump has squashed the necessary new rail tunnel between NYC & NJ that we need to ensure the viability of the region that literally gives so much to rest of US. We are not getting charity here, we continue to subsidize this Union.
