You have to wonder what folks in the "red states" are thinking......!
Ever since the election the Red State Republicans have been advocating policies that would be detrimental to the economies of Red States.... Consider:
Red States are net consumers of Federal Government money....be it for SSI Disability payments or Military bases; the truth is that RED STATES SHOULD BE IN FAVOR OF MORE FEDERAL SPENDING NOT LESS....AFTER ALL THEY ARE THE ONE'S BENEFITING FROM FEDERAL SPENDING!
Red States are generally rural....and in remote areas GAS PRICES are much higher, and distances traveled much greater......HOW EXACTLY DOES KANSAS AND SOUTH DAKOTA BENEFIT FROM $2.40 GAS! I don't see it. And does the average NYCity resident care? ....most of them don't even own cars, because it's impossible to find a parking spot!
Why should the Red State voter be in favor of repealing the ESTATE TAX.....MOST OF THE MILLIONAIRES ARE IN NEW YORK AND CALIFORNIA, ...THANK YOU VERY MUCH BUBBA!
How does Bankruptcy Reform help red states....most of the money center/CREDIT CARD banks are in Blue States.
All Red State Republicans have gotten for the money and their votes are a few GAY BASHING COMMENTS, and some off the cuff "Jesus Talk" from their Republican leadership....the rest has been all pro-Wall Street/RICH, all the time.
THE RED STATES HAVE GOT NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THEIR SUPPORT OF THE WALL STREET REPUBLICANS......
AND THERE'S A LOT LESS WHERE THAT CAME FROM.....!
ESPECIALLY IF "THE BEAST" IS STRAVED EVEN MORE, .....AS IS SURE TO HAPPEN WHEN THE VARIOUS TAX CUTS CRASH THE DOLLAR AND THE BOND MARKET....AND INTEREST RATES SOAR AS A RESULT!
LET'S JUST CALL THIS.....THE BLUE STATES' REVENGE!
