well before anyone can answer your question, you must define red and blue state
the 'red' states as some call them are not 'red' at the state and local level
the "red" states also have most of the farming. most of the military posts, and a good portion of the national parks
btw...many of the "red" states (based on POTUS election) are very BLUE in their own states...for example:
let's see.... 'red" state......north carolina.......a DEMOCRAT STRONG HOLD for the last 100 years
let's see.... 'blue' state....... New york...........the only thing blue in the state is NYC
highest dropout rates....nevada and illinois...very blue
texas also PRODUCES 40% of the ENERGY that California USES...yet
cali is the second biggest carbon emiter.....behind...texas
the top 15 states in the Nation that consume the MOST in welfare. 13-of-15 are DEMOCRAT states;
The BIGGEST US WELFARE STATES
