@ididntknow It certainly is. The blue has got to go. We just can't afford that many welfare checks going out.

@Ryderbike Nope. It is a A LIE and you are a LIAR.

@Reason10 Key Findings
Red states dominate the top 10. Eight of the 10 states most dependent on the federal government traditionally vote Republican. New Mexico (No. 2) is the only state in the top 10 to vote for the Democratic candidate in any of the last six presidential elections. Maine (No. 8), which splits its delegates, has voted for both Democrats and Republicans in the recent elections.
On average, federal funding makes up about 39% of state revenues. However, this figure varies by a margin of more than 29 percentage points. The federal share of state government revenue is highest in Wyoming, at 56.43%, and lowest in Hawaii, at 27.13%.
Connecticut ranks as the state least reliant on the federal government. Less than 32% of the revenue collected by the Connecticut state government comes from the federal government. That’s the eighth-smallest percentage across all 50 states. Connecticut also has the third-lowest percentage of workers employed by the federal government (1.47%) and fourth-lowest ratio of federal funding to income taxes paid (0.38).

@Ryderbike
Nope. I'm just smarter than you and every other liberal here.
There are Florida third graders and up who are likewise better educated than you cretins.
There is an advantage to living in a red state. Our schools are tougher but we come out better educated with a better work ethic.
