[EM] Slightly off-topic but interesting

[Narins, Josh]

Daniel Patrick Moynihan (4 term Senator from New York, retired in 2001) used
to publish an annual called "The Federal Budget and the States" that did
extensive analysis of this.

His last presentation of this was after Election 2000, and it was instantly
obvious how ironic it was.

Or, maybe it is the world's best thing.

Think about it.

The states which receive tax money, are saying "No, we don't need it"
And the states which give tax money are saying "Please, take more"

Wow, that's the first positive political conclusion I've ever made :)

People here might find this link interesting.  It's slightly off-topic,
but related to that unique and stubbornly persistent American election
method:  The electoral college.
