Me. too. C'mon. The most affluent US states are liberal while the most impoverished are conservative yet conservatives want to give economic advice to everybody...
You are not even consistant on your own parameters..
Californias unemployment rate is far higher than others, which of course would mean more poverty
Californias welfare rate is far higher
Californias DEBT is far higher etc
You stand here and act like liberals got their **** together and they DONT..

Again, states cannot be affluent or impoverished nor can a state be conservative or liberal, even the most left or right leaning state (based on whatever election you choose as an example) will still be relatively close to 50/50 conservative/liberal. There are no states in this country which are anywhere near 80/20 one way or the other.
If you look at individuals the most affluent people in this country are typically conservatives, you may find a few CEOs who are liberals but they're outnumbered by conservatives who understand economics and business. The 1%ers that liberals claim to hate are mostly conservative, not liberal.

And again the same rehashed absurdities. No, states can be affluent and poor. Just like countries.
There are poor countries and rich countries, poor states and rich states. There are traditionally liberal states and traditionally conservative states.
Traditionally liberal states tend to be affluent, traditionally conservative states are the biggest recipients of federal funds, that come from the affluent liberal states by the way.
To be fair, my favorite blue state isn't doing so well. Oregon has higher than average unemployment and underemployment rates, a below aver labor force participation rate, and the schools do a lousy job of graduating their students.

ok, if we buy your thought process that states can be affluent just like they can be poor, then wouldnt we be looking at the income/expenses, and assets vs liablitiies of the states, not those who live there?
And then wouldnt California be then considered poor, given their hundreds of billions of dollars in states?
What you are trying to do is argue that people are rich who live in the projects because they live in an area that have affluent individuals living next door.

Aren't you saying that the workers in relatively poor Central California must be paying ridiculous rents because that's what California averages out after including the wealthy areas?
I live in Syracuse, New York and housing here is cheaper than in Ohio. But because New York City is expensive, all of New York gets deemed unaffordable.

It doesn't matter how much basic logic you use with this fool, he'll spin it over and over and over again because he's just here trolling. He's a past banned member under a new user name who is here to troll, just give up.

Just because you don't get to understand something it doesn't mean it is stupid or illogical. Only five years old kids believe that saying "adults are stupid".
Yes, the Red States are generally mooching off the Blue states. There are numbers to prove it.
This is from Wikipedia:
[b]Several commentators have pointed out that the states that benefit the most by federal spending are the very states whose populations tend to vote for leaders who promise to reduce federal spending, while those that benefit the least from large government vote for politicians who promise to make it even larger at their expense. In other words, Democratic-leaning states tend to be net contributors to the federal budget while Republican-leaning states are more often net recipients of federal spending. Various explanations for this seemingly contradictory situation exist.[3][/]
