The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming!

[Box Ox]

Math isn't your strong suit apparently. The resulting economic activity that the tax cuts created has actually brought in more revenue. Thus the tax cuts did what they were supposed to do. But we still overspent. And we covered this before. To get his military spending Trump compromised with Democrats who wanted their own spending to continue. Had to because too many Republicans refused to support his budget. Make no mistake about it, plenty of Republicans are concerned about the ever growing debt and want at the very least a balanced budget. Too many special interests in Washington want to see the money keep flowing. I just find it amazing that Dems who spent like drunken sailors on crack are now deficit hawks because it's politically expedient to do so.​

Now why would you ever assume @bbsam was talking about welfare and handouts?

That's what Dim and Liberals believes the Government should do.

 

[It will be fine]

They're also most of the States with the highest percentage of poor minorities.

 

[bbsam]

You made that up, didn’t you?

Perhaps they have both the highest percentage of poor whites as well? But I’m sure it’s the minorities that cause the problem.

 

[It will be fine]

Why haven’t the conservative state government’s policies produced better results for them?

It's not that they're causing problems. They are most of the States with a higher percentage of minority population and historically minorities have a higher percentage of their population in poverty and are receiving assistance. Plenty of poor whites receiving assistance too but typically in States with better economies both whites and minorities are able to find substantial work.

Ask Texas, maybe they can assist you.

States are an inanimate entity ... therefore, a state can not be Liberal or any other human characteristic.

Plus the cities within a state can skew statistics.

Oh really....

In theory, yes but if only Liberal, hole states vote this in, it makes no difference.

I always thought of Minnesota as a liberal state.

Interesting.

You appear to be a very delusional person.

you're arguing they should raise their tax rate to move up in this ranking ?

 

[newfie]

they don't have the high tax rates that your blue states do . those states prove you can do more with less.

Maybe more that the Republican method of governance in those states is not conducive to its people actually practicing what they preach. And they ignorantly "YEE HAW MAGAAAAA" for Trump to cut the same kinds of programs they themselves rely upon more heavily than anywhere else in the Country.

its a measurement of expense to revenue. obviously high tax states will do better in this measurement then those that try to govern without excessively taxing their citizenry.

 

[rickyb]

greenwald did a tweet today asking people to show him where trump admin colluded with russians to win, and something else.

im assuming theres still nothing tied to that specifically.

Those conservative states are a bunch of takers, they can’t fund their own programs so they have their hand out to the feds. Maybe if they had functioning economies their populations wouldn’t be so poor.

in this study you have two arguments you can make cut services or raise revenue (taxes) . but I do like the sudden concern about spending.

are you fine with cutting off all disaster relief money to california since you're now so concerned about spending?
