Most of the Red States are in the Negative.
Matter of fact, the Blue States are the one holding it down. If not for the Blue States, how will the Red States survive?

wow...talk about misinformation
mean while the liberal states are running so much debt, not even the federal government could bail them out
cali has nearly 1 trillion in debt
Ny has nearly 700 billion in debt..with NYC itself having over 190 billion in debt
way to go liberals.....spend like drunken sailors
more fascist liberal lies and harassment
such garbage...but what to expect from the fascist liberals
challenge: define 'conservative' or 'red' state
define liberal or blue states
hmm north Carolina, south Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi , Alabama , and lousianna ...all locked by the democrats for 80-120 years, since the 1880's
let's see 'red" state..nc...a DEMOCRAT STRONG HOLD for the last 100 years
let's see.. 'blue' state NY...the only thing blue in the state is NYC
the 'red'("republican") states also have the biggest share of military posts in the county
the 'red' states as you call them are not 'red' at the state and local level
the "red" state 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...NC for example has been a democrat controlled state for 100 years..even though it was a 'red' state in 2000/4
the top 15 states in the Nation that consume the MOST in welfare. 13-of-15 are DEMOCRAT states; they went Blue in 2008.

No matter what you think, the fact that 13 of the 15 states mentioned above who TAKE the most money for WELFARE are BLUE states!!!!
some of the biggest welfare states....new york and california and mississippi...all very much liberal states....and missi also has the highest black population in the country
new york SPENDS more per capita on WELFARE than almost anyother state, 'blue' states like NY have more welfare recipients than 10 of those 'red' states combined..they are number 8
top 7 states per capita of welfare
1. DISTRICT OF COLOMBIA (wash DC)
2. GUAM
3. Rhode Island
4. Tenn
5. california
6. Maine
7. alaska
8. new york
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
btw I am a new yorker (a northerner)
the problem is the democrats and their love for welfare and other social programs...the more they push these programs the more the wealthier states will pay for the poorer states. the more they push the "tax the rich" mantra, the more the rich will be paying for the poor.......NJ has more people that are considered wealthy, than it has people below the poverty line...a state like SC has more workingclass and poor than it has wealthy.....its simple math....and there is a simple solution,,, vote out the tax and spend liberals
