States that went for Obama love to indenture future children. And the trend becomes more pronounced the more they went for Obama.
The strongest Obama states had a per capita debt high of $4,606 for Massachusetts and a low of $709 for Vermont—remember, the average per capita debt in the McCain states was only $749, barely above the debt level in Vermont, with its “less is more” ethic.
And once they trash their state, they are after the rest of us… We OWE them after all.

I note that the Northeast quadrant has high population densities, many of the best universities, and severe winters. Could those things correlate with more public spending? The data for such things are so diverse that almost any conclusion can be drawn from a carefully selected data subset.

Hawaii, Vermont, New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Maryland. States more noted for their stupidity than anything else in common.
Add in California, Oregon, and Washington and the differences in weather, good/bad universities, and population density seem pretty wide.
Nope… this is about the PEOPLE and how greedy they are about other people’s (they aren’t having any) children’s future.

For those red states, let’s look up the ratio of federal government payments to state federal tax payments. Since blue heavily support red; who are the freeloaders??

Nice post. My partner and i discover some thing tougher on diverse blogs everyday. It will always always be revitalizing to read content material coming from additional freelance writers and exercise a little something at their store. I’d prefer to use some using the content about my own blog whether an individual don’t head. Natually I’ll provide you with a website link on your own net weblog. Thank you for expressing.
