Critical mass? You mean population? D.C. has about the same population

geographic area.

D.C. doesn't want to be part of another state. It wants its own
political clout and independence.


Alaska and North Dakota have natural resources and a real economy. DC
just sucks on the government tit. The federal government is the only
industry they have. A lot of that is moving north to the I-270
corridor. The biggest industry downtown is K street. (essentially
legal bribery)


So what?


What does DC have to offer the US in the form of revenue and expansion?
