1 | California | 36,457,549 | |||||||
2 | Texas | 23,507,783 | |||||||
3 | New York | 19,306,183 |
So Texas has roughly 4 million people more than New York, or New York has 82% of Texas's population.
Also of importance is the GDP per state,
Texas | 989,443 | ||
New York | 957,873 |
So Texas still beats New York in GDP but the gap has narrowed to New York having almost 97% of Texas's GDP.
So by these two numbers it would be safe to assume that New York has spent between 82 and 97% as much as Texas for the war, and Texas being so gung ho I would presume towards the low end, but I would be wrong dead wrong,
According to the National Priorities Project
Texas has spent about $36,660,000,000
New York has spent about $40,208,000,000
(these are running tallies so they will change, hence I rounded to the nearest million)
New York has spent over 109% of what Texas has contributed. Or you could say 4 million fewer people and 4 billion dollars more towards supporting our troops. Funny how those who oppose the war end up footing the bill.
Oh yeah and Fuck Texas.
