Boebert is a waste of Colorado's time. Moving on. Pure trash.

Excellent facts! What a novel concept, take steps to prevent wild fires 🤔 who knew. I heard about the Sierra Club as a kid and the spotted owl and then we started having routine forest fires.

For more than seventy years, Democratic-led states have consistently paid more in federal taxes than they receive in federal spending, while Republican-led states have received more in federal spending than they contribute in taxes. 7 of the top 10 states that rely the most on federal dollars? The Republican-led states of Mississippi, West Virginia, Alabama, Louisiana, Montana, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
