Break it down to cities and counties and see who's living in the counties driving up overall state costs. Hint: Try Houston Texas first

Houston's GDP is larger than many countries. What are you smoking?

Next time you see someone from Houston thank them for filling the potholes in your neighborhood.

If it stated the opposite, I'd still have posted it.

"In many ways, states have increased their dependency on the federal government in the past half-decade or so..."

Interesting.

Does anyone have a breakdown of the political affiliation of the people who "depend on the federal government?" There are charts, graphs and polls about everything under the sun so surely there's something showing whether the freeloaders have a political persuasion or not.

According to the link, one of the primary reasons states are dependent on the federal government is because of expanding federal programs, and that many states frequently ask the federal government to back off and let them deal with things themselves.

Call me crazy, but it sounds to me like the liberals are creating this monster, just so they can bitch about it later.

That would be fantastic.

1) Repeal Obamacare
2) Cut Social Security, medicare, food stamps, and all other welfare by 50%.
3) Reduce defense spending by 10%.
4) Eliminate all income taxes on the bottom 95% of people.

And presto! Budgetary surplus.

They cannot help themselves. The vast majority of cons are entitlement junkies.
