I just wish the “blue states” could stop funding the “red states” utter stupidity. It’s just more privatize gains and socialize losses for the rich.
Edit: fixed an autocorrect word to clarify what I was saying
What does this mean exactly?
Red states are, across the board, severely lacking in the education department
I think they meant to say "funding" not "finding"
That does make more sense in context
The argument is that blue states make more money and pay more taxes. Those taxes are then used to prop up red states' economy. But that said, based on what I've researched in the last 10 minutes, it appears to be more of a mixed bag than I thought and the answer as to which "side" is more dependent on federal funding is murky. This is the best resource I've found that breaks it all down.
That's a better study honestly. I won't be trusting an article written by a journalist with a mononym, thanks .. that article you listed puts California as the single most dependent state, and that's absurd. There's no study there, it's just the mononym journalist's very poorly organized citations..
And the study I linked does demonstrate that red states are more dependent on the federal government than blue states, by ten ranks on average.
Edit that's actually just a crappy blog and that journalist isn't a journalist at all, she's a video game blogger. Yeah.
Unreal. You must have gone to like page 12 of Google results to find one that gave you California as the worst owner, and without any irony at all that blog you linked is called "balancing everything". FFS talk about disingenuous "sharing a source".
Information literacy ftw.
Autocorrect got me.
They tend to receive more in FUNDING than blue states do. Some exceptions like FL and TX happen though.
That's by design. The right-wing Wall Street caste doesn't want an educated populace. They want an indoctrinated populace.
