Liberal states like NY, CA, IL, NJ, and MA struggle with small 1-2% increases in GDP while conservative North Dakota expands at a ferocious 8% pace. Wyoming is also growing at 8% with Texas and Oklahoma at 6%. It seems like the way to grow your state is to go conservative.
I think it is really nice the economic boom that is starting up in Wyoming and North Dakota thanks to President Trump rolling back stupid environmental regulations that Obama implemented.
The good people and companies of North Dakota and Wyoming drilling and extracting a storm so California and Western state liberals can sit in traffic with gas guzzler SUV's.
I personally like it when the energy prices are moderately high because it mainly benefits Republican states and more rural states except for Texas.
I have been in North Dakota and Wyoming for vacations on many occasions and nothing better than two states with American values extracting oil and natural gas for big city liberals to sit in traffic with.
Obama did all he could to punish good states like North Dakota and Wyoming who are the future of America with their natural gas and oil reserves.
Nothing more patriotic than drilling up a storm in North Dakota and Wyoming and state governments who vote Republican swimming in money while our country is more and more independent when it comes to our home grown energy supply.
North Dakota's growth has been pretty much attributed to the oil boom. And as you know, booms eventually go bust. Has little to do with liberal vs. conservative policies.
And interestingly enough, Kansas, which is known for Brownback's supply side policies, is certainly lagging in growth. Chalk that up to conservative policies!

Did you take a full look at your own map? Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Montana are all conservative states and they are all doing worse than California.

So you leap to that conclusion after only ONE quarter of data? Okay, I can play that game too. Q3 of 2014 had a blistering 5.3% growth rate under Obama. Trump's numbers have only been in the 3's. That proves we are better off under Democratic presidents.
Also I just realized: The map is from almost a year ago. Notice it says Q1-Q2 2017. Do the cons have to dig up year old data to prove their point?
It was the most recent I found.
