Ya know the liberal favorite go-to argument, that 'Red States take in more than Blue States'.. a closer introspection of the data reveals why that's the case.

I'm not sure why someone would label every single one of those states red states. I guess I get the point of the graph based on what is actually on the graph, though.

Selective use of data. There are just as many states where that isn't true.

The traditional argument I've heard is that red states get more federal money, but that's easily explained by Social Security and military bases.

Easily explained but not adequately "explained."

LOL, are you for real with this? I guess Missouri doesn't count. Or Tennessee. Or Kentucky. Or all the other shades of purple which seem to cover large portions of red states. Get your brain out of the left/right bullshit.

How about pulling the plug on the printing presses for a couple of years...........Just as an experiment.

Once fed dollars are out of the equation for a while revisit the red-blue discussion.

With $300B to $1T deficits every year, that should just about be universal.
