What are we missing, Einstein?

I asked you a simple question which deserved an answer. Since you didn't, its obvious that you initial reply was as FOS as you are.

States run by Republicans are far more dependent upon the help of the federal government than their Democratic-run counterparts, based on the latest annual study from Wallethub.com.

In ranking the 50 states, the financial website listed 11 red states among the 12 most dependent upon Washington D.C. No fewer than 19 of the 25 of the most-dependent states were Republican dominated. Conversely, 12 of the 14 states least dependent on the federal government were run by Democrats.

"Blue states are less dependent on federal government than red states," the site observed, noting that in its 50-state ranking, red states ranked 20.68 in dependency to Washington DC, versus a much lower average ranking of 30.32 for blue states.

The findings directly contradict the talking points of right-wing politicians and commentators who continually claim that "Democrat-run states" are mismanaged and in need of financial bailouts. See Hannity, Sean.

A great example is Tennessee, the 14th most dependent state, with the 9th most dependent state government. That didn't stop the state's Republican Governor Bill Lee and Senator Marsha Blackburn from whining in a Fox News opinion piece about their state "being on the losing end of the deal" in the $1.9 trillion COVID bill Blackburn voted against:

"For purely partisan reasons, this bill uses unemployment numbers to determine final state payouts and rewards failing blue states with the tax dollars of red states whose jobless rates didn't spike as dramatically. Under this new formula, our home state of Tennessee will lose $164 million dollars; meanwhile, New York, New Jersey, and California will walk away with a combined gain of almost $9 billion."

Oh the horror of the 26th, 49th and 38th most federally dependent states on a 24/7 coming out better on the COVID bill because the pandemic has caused higher unemployment problems in more population-dense states. That's too close to a scientific explanation for GOP minds, so the folks from Tennessee chalked up their lower unemployment rates to having implemented fewer health restrictions.

Made up numbers. Random numbers are not data.

This article will attest to the OP's point

Top 10 Poorest States in the U.S.

October 5, 2020

Economic Justice

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the national poverty rate was 10.5% percent or 34 million Americans in 2019. These states and territories have the highest percentages of poverty in the country: Puerto Rico, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Arkansas, West Virginia, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and South Carolina.

Funny how you left out Florida, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, Kansas, Texas, etc. Cherry picking fallacy.

 

[Into the Night]

That was pointless. Showing the states that get the most government help and have the worst education is just data. The fact they are all Red states shows something. They vote against their own interests over and over. Trump did nothing for the poor and they want him to continue.

Random numbers are not data.

You cant deal with reality, my dear, which makes you and anything you say, full of shit. Comprende???

 

[Into the Night]

Oh horse shit. Your data means nothing as it can be manipulated to prove anything.

Random numbers are, of course, not a proof. Neither is data.

 

[Into the Night]

When were either of those locked down?

Apparently you haven't been paying attention.

 

[Into the Night]

You cant deal with facts either, better for you to live in your own dream world.

Random numbers are not facts. Learn what 'fact' means.

 

[Into the Night]

Nothing to manipulate, these are facts which all you will do is try to spin.

Not facts. Learn what 'fact' means. 'Fact' does not mean Universal Truth nor 'proof'.

 

[Into the Night]

The simple fact is that red states take more money from the government than they send. Its the blue states in general who pay in far less than they get back.
Time to try and appreciate what your government does.

Doublespeak. Learn what 'fact' means.

What are we missing, Einstein?

Pretty much everything.

In other words you dont have a fucking clue.

Circular argument fallacy. Argument of ignorance fallacy. Attempted proof by negative.

Doublespeak. 'Reality' is not a proof nor a Universal Truth. Learn what 'reality' means, how it's defined, and what defines it.

The OP is absolutely true, does anyone really think Alabama, the most conservative state, could survive without the money from New York and California?
