I don't know if other Blue states have done the same, or where the money will come from esp. if we keep losing Federal funds.

It seems Blue states need to step up and replace what is being lost in the Federal government. The problem is, we have to keep sending taxes to the Feds so how do we fund these things? Our federal tax dollars no longer funding science, instead funding billionairs and crytpcurreny while subsidizing Red states.
