Please note: "The following historical table shows the annual ratio of federal spending to the corresponding federal revenue collected from each state. Values greater than 1 indicate the state was a net negative effect on the federal budget in that fiscal year."
By example, Texas (red state) receives $1.26 for every federal dollar it pays to the federal government.
North Carolina? Red state, $1.33
Mississippi? A whopping $3.07 per dollar. Red state.
Delaware? Gets .50 for every dollar. Blue state.
I'm a vegetarian so I couldn't care less.
So, how does your red state fare?
Yeah, munitions. Real important.
Blue states provide pharmaceuticals, finance, commerce, media, publishing, high technology products; it educates the majority of STEM workers, doctors, lawyers, educators and leads the nation in culture and performing arts. But, you got ammo, so I guess you win!
You left out Oil Coal and Gas production, as well as commerce..
Let see any of that run with out Gasoline and electricity.
MASSIVE insecurity on display here. Inferiority complex, persecution complex, xenophobia. Typical of the conservative mindset.
Why do you guys feel compelled to start these threads ten times a day? It's like watching a redneck get drunk in a bar, and start picking fights. Where does all the butthurt come from? A question for social historians.
Conservatives (basically older white males) are a shrinking part of the US population. The fastest growing parts of the country are urban areas. That includes the ones in "red states". Cities tend to be liberal. When the red state urban areas get large enough, the states will turn blue. It's already happened in California, Colorado, and Virginia. Georgia, Arizona, and Texas are next.
There is nothing you can do to stop that.
its ok they will crash the national economy, triggering a economical collapse and or civil war.. We dont have to fight them, they will slit their own throats...
Red states do have good schools, but that's a pretty short list when you look at the best American universities.
Good structure and standards start young. Good thing those Red States have educated students to send to those Universities......these Red State kids are already a step ahead in a Blue State.

No, there is nothing we can do to "stop" it. But this conservative, not old and not male, can vote with her feet and will be moving to Montana where I can "delay" the effects of liberalism. They have been disastrous in California.

Energy, like food, is global commodity; education, quality of life, medical care, R&D are localized. And what is this red state "commerce" you speak of? Oh! That's right! Lolo, Montanta!
o of the top 15 medical schools in the US, 14 are in blue states.
o Every Ivy League school is in a blue state.
o There's one center of commerce, finance, fashion, media and culture in the US: We call it Manhattan. In a blue state state.
o Five best orchestras? All in blue states
o Top technology centers in America? Blue states (NY, CA, MA)
o Highest income: 18 of 25 in blue states
o States with highest poverty: bottom ten -- all red states. Least poor? 9 of 10 blue states
o Healthiest states: 9 of 10 blue
o Best educated states: 14 of 15 blue states
So, like, you make wild assertions -- let's see your list. You see, blue states INVEST in their people. Red states? No so much, and the results show.
Give then fact those states and cities in them have been around the last 300 years of course you would have had a early start.
