    Default Republican States More Dependent On Federal Funds

    New study just out, but no surprise:

    https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/s...180735773.html

    States that voted Democrat in 2016 generally rely less on federal funding than Republican states, according to a study by WalletHub.

    The analysis looked at the return on taxes paid to the federal government, the share of federal jobs, and federal funding as a share of state revenue.

    Thirteen out of the top 15 states found to be most dependent on the federal government voted for President Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election. Ten out of the 15 least dependent states voted for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
    "2Timothy 3 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away"

    Ten out of the 15 least dependent states who voted for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, voted for the loser.

    The reason Conservatives changed welfare to block grants was because their supply-side, tax-cutting fiscal policies were resulting in massive deficits and not the growth promised; so they needed to use welfare from that block grant to close the holes in their budgets that exist solely because of low taxes.

    Every single red state is a welfare state like that.

    All of them.

    No exceptions.
