The South is a beautiful place. You should go there someday.
I was very disappointing the last time I went to the south. I thought he south was all about freedom and anti-government. When I was in Alabama I felt like I tripped into a character in Orwell's 1984. It was like a surveillance station at every street corner. Oh yeah, but I couldn't buy a lottery ticket because "we don't do that lottery down here, we do fishing and hunting."
RT is a pretty awful source. The US does fare badly on a number of metrics compared to its economic equals, but at least our unemployment isn't as godawful as Spain's or Greece's.
I'm far more interested in the unoffical unemployment rate, which also covers underemployment. Recently, here in Las Vegas, despite the current "booming economy", we're still pegged at an unofficial rate of 20%+!
Not far behind Greece or Spain!
Let's jump ahead 5-10 years! Anyone dare to do that?

Juneau, AK has an unemployment rate of 4.5%. Anchorage, AK has an unemployment rate of 6.5%. Statewide, Alaska has an unemployment rate of 7.2%. It has remained relatively unchanged since 2002. Alaska also did not suffer the high percentage of home foreclosures most other States experienced.

The South isn't about anti-government. Unfortunately, all states have progressed to Big Government.
And follow with Chicago, New York, Newark, Pittsburgh, etc, etc.
