Sorry that you lack basic reading comprehension or an understanding of numbers. The sources are still there.
I read the artical unlike you i know what numbers and graphs say and there is not a fucking thing in that artical or there source that states the numbers asked or where they got the figures only that you are suppost to believe what they say. Think for yourself and give some real statistics and sources instead of the first thing google popped up when you searched or gtfo hear with the bull shit.

Even the end of the artical starts naming some things not listed

Dr. Benjamin Clark, an associate professor at the University of Oregon, told Yahoo Finance that certain state programs can create "an appearance of dependence" even though they are sometimes driven by federal investments "that have nothing to do with entitlement programs." For example, he said, some states have a "disproportionately" large number of military bases, which creates more federal job opportunities.




"Excise taxes, corporate income taxes, tariffs, Social Security, and Medicare and Medicaid all have separate ways in which they bring in money to the federal government coffers," he said. "Some of these taxes may be a much larger burden on residents of these 'dependent' states than those in wealthier ones."

funny because (Texas v. White (1869)) supreme court already ruled no state can succeed w/o the rest of states approval. (and that wont happen as R's lose big time if they lose texas & D's won't because texas is part of the nation)

so these thigns have no valid use as even IF they got support they do nothing w/o support of other states (which again will never happen)

How about merge Texas and Mexico to form United states of Mexico. That would totally kick ass right?

USM would probably have serious internal problem that they won't be a threat to USA.

But USA probably would want to annex some part of USM.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.
