As most people know, Michigan is still a donor state. For every dollar we send to Washington, we receive less than one dollar back. I believe there are only 13 donor states [[give or take a couple).

My question: We obviously have weak leadership - How can we , as citizens have a voice to change this and get, at minimum, a $1 for $1 return on our money.

To put it in perspective: Between 1981 - 05 we sent $176,614,000,000 more to Washington than we received in return. Even to this day we are still a donor state.

How can we change this?
