This is all the GOP have to muster in opposition to DC becoming a state? That they want to charge DC for the flag change, all while the Trump admin decided to send out more than a billion dollars to dead people as part of the latest stimulus package.

They spent how much money adding Trump’s name to the paper checks, and then sending out an additional letter to everyone reminding them that Trump had to sign this into law (kicking and screaming).

Most recent flag update took place back in 1959, when Hawaii was officially proclaimed the 50th state…As soon as the new flag was announced, the U.S. government probably started making contingency plans for a 51-star flag, according to Repke.

“The cost to make a new flag is no different than the cost of making the current flag,” Repke explained. “We do our star fields by giant embroidery machines that run off software, so we would just have to make some software change … that’s like uploading a digital file. There is no real expense in that.”
