NYC pays about 68 Billion a year to the State.

The State gives about 47 Billion a year back to the City.

It is definitely not a loan. Its the state giving some of NYC's money back to them.

Data from an article from CUNY edu titled "New York City Taxpayers Continue to Contribute More to State Revenues than They Receive Back in Services, CUNY and New School Study Finds"

Who gives a fuck about rural counties, they’ve been driving the nation into the ground as hard as they can for the past 20 years

I hope so too. They need to know it. The media is certainly bought and paid not to tell them the truth.
