This is the crap that happens when we bail out blue states.

Bail out blue states? I know that the facts don't rally matter to the cult of ignorance, but the top 25 counties for federal tax revenue pretty much all vote blue, although that doesn't fit your false narrative.

Blue state governors out spend their tax revenues. Rich people and business are leaving because they can.

Two things can be true at once. The top 25 counties for tax revenue can be "blue" AND those states can be bailed out because their state governments are hapless. The latest stimulus did just that...

This isn't the first time I've cited the WSJ in handing your ass to you... why don't you spring for a subscription? You might not look so ignorant!


"Democrats in Congress are planning to ladle out another $350 billion to state and local governments, though many haven’t finished spending their Cares Act checks and some are running budget surpluses. This is income redistribution for public unions.

About one third of the $150 billion that Congress allocated in direct aid to state and local governments last spring still hasn’t been spent. These funds were intended to help governments cover pandemic needs amid budget shortfalls, but most haven’t needed it.

Research outfit Wirepoints recently estimated that 44 states are running surpluses for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 when Covid relief and budget reserves are included. The six outliers: New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Maryland, Hawaii, Nevada. They have pre-existing spending problems or rely heavily on tourism."


Hmm... of the six states in fiscal doo-doo, Maryland is the only one with a Republican Governor (Hogan)... of course, he inherited most of his budgetary problems from his fiscally irresponsible dim-retard predecessors.
