We hear and read people here downing blue states and arrogantly declaring the greatness of red states. Like everything else, the declarations are factually untrue. The reality is that blue states carry the red ones. It is the red states that are literally welfare states.
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) went to bat for the economic power of his state in a recent sitdown with podcaster Shawn Ryan, who is part of the so-called āmanopshereā of new media.
āWhat separates our game from the game played elsewhere is innovation, entrepreneurialism, more patents, more engineers, more researchers, more Nobel laureates in my state than any other damn state, more Fortune 500 companies in my state than any other state. Look that up, because I know people are rolling their eyes and say, āNo, itās Texas.ā Youāre wrong,ā Newsom said.
āItās true. I looked it up,ā agreed Ryan, a former Navy SEAL turned popular podcast host.
āAnd weāre, by the way, a donor state. We provided $83.1 billion more than we received from the federal government. Texas took $71.1 billion.
"nine out of the ten dependent statesāwelfare statesāare Trump states. The donor states disproportionately are the blue states,ā
71% of the countryās GDP comes from blue countiesāthese same cracked-up counties with all these crazy liberals. They canāt get out of their own goddamn way and the worldās come to an end. Itās 71% the economy of the goddamn country, man.
