    Default Why do blue states have higher education rates and less people below the poverty line?

    Just wondering why this seems to be the case.

    If that's true, then debt is most likely the reason. States can spend money to prop things up for a bit but when the debt needs to be repaid, see what happens.

    Define higher education rates.

    Just because a higher percentage of kids are graduating doesn't mean they are actually educated. Most of the time they grade kids on a curve based on the dumbest kid in class. This is socialism of grades. Robbing from the intellegent and giving to the idiots. I would have to imagine that this Halle s more in a socialist state in order to make themselves and public education look better. For the children of course.

    Nothing can be proved in economics. If it could, then we wouldn't be in the problem we are in today.

    Krugman will find charts to "prove" his ideas and the Austrians will find charts to "prove" their ideas.

    You need to check out a district map. Generally, but not always, blue districts are more densely populated. This leads to more opportunity.

    For example, if you have a job requiring an advanced degree, where do you put it to use? Usually in a city.

    As far as people below the poverty line, I'd have to see your data.

    I'm specifically looking for a chart of states by their debt in order.

    You might try and transpose the word "education" with the word "indoctrination". Which union is the most left? The teachers union.

    higher taxes, higher debt, more social services, what's surprising about it?

    "Below the poverty line" is misleading as it just measures income, a person without income can be either farming and eating on his own, or homeless and begging, which would vary widely from blue state to rural red state.
