Background & Analysis





None of that seems "considerable" as you claimed it to be...even worst case where it is 16%, that is for what, one or two out of 50 states?
That's because you are looking at education only. Here's a state-by-state table of how much each state received from the Federal in 2007:

For example Alabama (first in the table) received $ 47.889 Billion.

Then again, many do!

Another video of Paul Ryan vigorously booed by his constituents. If Ryan were up for reelection, he would lose!

This I can agree with. Maybe even put him in as the treasury secretary or something. But the head of the ticket can't support things 70% of the populace doesn't want.
