My Thoughts on the DC Statehood Business

 I have four observations over the idea:

1.  Go ask the DC folks on the original boundary....which included Arlington and Alexandria.  Ask them how and why that got separated and passed back to Virginia, then ask...why couldn't the non-federal part of DC get passed back to Maryland?

It'll be just a blank look on their face.

2.  All of this would make perfect sense if you were going to statehood Miami, Austin, Chicago, Philly, Vegas and Nashville as states as well....but that's not going to happen.

3.  If this occurs.....would the 4-billion in federal funding halt or continue on?

4.  What about Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, Virgin Islands, and Northern Marianna Islands?  The same logic should get them on track as well.
