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.
Newsom Lets Loose On GOP Trashing Blue Cities: We Create ‘71% of the Country’s GDP’
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 “manopshere” of new media.
“What 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, ‘No, it’s Texas.’ You’re wrong,”
Newsom said.
“It’s true. I looked it up,” agreed Ryan, a former Navy SEAL turned popular podcast host.
“And we’re, 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 states—welfare states—are Trump states. The donor states disproportionately are the blue states,”
71% of the country’s GDP comes from blue counties—these same cracked-up counties with all these crazy liberals. They can’t get out of their own goddamn way and the world’s come to an end. It’s 71% the economy of the goddamn country, man.
"We provided $83.1 billion more than we received from the federal government... Pretty proud of my goddamn state,” Newsom said.
