RED STATES TROUNCE BLUE STATES
By: John Hinderaker
This is no surprise at all. Red states had lower taxes and fewer regulations in the first place along with better energy policies. Now post covid and the fascist lockdowns of blue city mayors and blue state governors red state economies rock and most blue state ones including mine just totally suck. My area of California mirrors the National average rather than our state one. No wonder so many people and businesses are moving out of the blue and into the red!

RED STATES TROUNCE BLUE STATES
One of the notable features of 21st century life is that America’s blue states are failing and losing population, while red states are thriving and growing. This is blindingly obvious to anyone who travels around the country, or to those who have seen half of their friends move to Nashville. But today Stephen Moore’s Committee to Unleash Prosperity sent an email that shows the trend graphically:
[I]f progressive tax, spend, borrow, and regulate economic policies are so superior then why are all the big blue states collapsing economically/financially? The chart below shows the highest and lowest unemployment rate states at the end of 2020.

It takes a special kind of partisanship not to recognize that liberalism has demonstrably failed.
You’d think the “progressives” would be totally embarrassed that their economic model is such an unmitigated failure, that they have to go hat-in-hand to the fast-recovering red states begging for money? Blue states like California were once the trend-setting, wealth-producing states that laid the path for the future of America. Now progressivism has relegated them to the status of beggar states that have to go to places like Alabama and Arkansas for handouts.
Sad but true. Blue states like California, New York and Illinois are basket cases, and bailing them out will be a top priority of the Biden administration. Are liberals entirely incapable of learning from experience? Well, yeah. They are still trying to sell socialism, the most comprehensive failure in the history of the human race.
Liberals are also busily smearing successful red states. Why not, since smearing is what they are best at? To take just one example, the Democratic Party press has launched one dishonest attack after another against South Dakota’s Governor Kristi Noem. This might seem strange–when has the Governor of South Dakota ever come in for a concerted national smear campaign?
But there is no mystery. Noem is a potential presidential or vice-presidential nominee in 2024, and Democrats are conducting battle space preparation. After all, they wouldn’t want voters to know that South Dakota has the lowest unemployment rate in the country, at an extraordinary 3.0 percent. Voters might get the wrong idea!

And two of their most arrogant Governors are going down!
Texas, the most "successful" red state. Without question the greatest failure of state government in American history.
... yeah, it sure worked out great for texas this past week, didn't it... /s
it'll be fun when texans realize that along with their loss of income, no electric, no water, frozen pipes or other damages, and nothing left in the grocery store.... they get to pay for the basic upgrades to their low budget electrical grid too.
Not to mention some fly by night start ups that were trying to buy into the secondary electric market.
Griddy started notifying it's customers when the unregulated cost of wholesale electric went from $30 to $9,000
on day one of the crises.
my family members there seem to pay astronomical electric bills
