Georgetown IS a Catholic school. Taxpayer money goes to students at Georgetown and other Catholic (and other religious) schools in the form of Pell Grants, etc. Liberals are extreme hypocrites in that they support what are essentially vouchers for private religious schools at one level of education but not another.
Shut down the problem schools*, but let students attend the others with vouchers. Continuing to trap them in the public schools that are only educating 1/3 of them to grade-level proficiency ISN'T a viable option. Why are liberals so anti-education? Why?!?
Poverty is more concentrated in cities. There simply aren't large enough cities in red states with enough of a population to outnumber the poor in blue state cities. The three most populous cities are NYC (8.34 million), LA (3.86 million), and Chicago (2.71 million). Poverty rates: 19.9%, 21.2%, and 22.1%, respectively. All 3 of the most populous cities are in blue states.
Poverty in the cities is concentrated so it's more visible but there is much more poverty in rural America, let's look at the tax-non payer rate map that shows where the propke who have no tax liability live:

Does it need any explanation?
Figures that California is among those states that aren't paying their own way.
Stop deflecting and at look at poverty in your beloved red states. Horrible, that's your republican dream of fiscal responsibility at work.
California, by the way, pays it's share, as opposed to all red states with an exception of Texas: this is the map of moo her states vs. contributor states. Note California as a provider. Yes, those high taxes that disgust you so much in liberal, blue states are funding souther laziness. You're welcome.

Education has demographic trends as well and is shown in every state tests.
Scoring from highest to lowest:
Asian-White-Hispanic-Black
There is a small gap between Asian and White scores but a huge gap between White and Hispanic/Black scores.
This even occurs in the "red and blue states". Politics doesn't matter..demographics do.
As the demographics change so will the scores.
Texas schools are majority Hispanic now and scores reflect the changing demographics.

I was refering to your little map that shows California contributing only slightly more than Montana, a state that takes in far less money than California.
Nevertheless, here goes the myth of conservative fiscal responsibility vs. liberal irresponsibility.
Blue states are pretty much caring the red states, with an exception of Texas of course. Too bad many of this contributor states are in fiscal dire straits, like California and Illinois. If only some of the money they contribute could stay in the state.... The civil war has been over for almost 200 years, can the red states cut the BS and get to work already???
