I wonder if that has a lot to do with military expenditures? Canada's are so much smaller that they don't make a huge difference. But in the US it can mean tens of billions of dollars to some states and I bet Michigan isn't one of them.

I think we get quite a bit because of the manufacturing industry here....

but anyways....we get way less dollars back then we pay in....and the same could happen with healthcare....it'd be hard to convince me that would be good for my state...
