What do the states in the most trouble have in common?

Do you think this is interesting that the states in the most trouble financially are Democratic run states?

Texas receives the most federal aid of any state, but Forbes calls them one of the top three most fit. Sounds like they’re drinking the Fox kool-aid.

    Run by democrats…and no its not shocking at all. Its obvious that their political policies dont work, Heaven knows why they’d try to mimic that on a national level.

    Out of control spending is what they have in common.

    And they are run by Democrats that always spend, spend, spend, tax citizens out of the state and regulate business right out of the country.

    It’s not that. It’s the way they spend their money and where they get it from. New Hampshire and Virginia don’t borrow and spend the way the troubled states do. It’s not conservative vs. liberal. It’s conservative vs. borrowing money.

    The thing they all have in common is that they are paying the red states’ bills:

    Why would that article claim Utah is the best off financially when they have a budget shortfall?

    They receive the least in federal money. Funny how the states with the best finances receive the most in federal aid. Hmmm.

    As you can see in America progressive means regressive.
