If I was president the first thing I would do is order all military bases in red states closed and moved to blue states to make red states economies suffer.
Red states have better lobbyists to prevent that from happening. In fact, red states outspend blue states by millions of dollars to keep their military bases open whenever cuts in military spending may involve military bases and support for national guard / reserves.
In contrast, blue states outspend red states in their support of our soldiers at VA hospitals although Biloxi VA in Mississippi is the largest but the most expensive VA hospital in the entire world is in Aurora, Colorado...fought hard for by Democrat Congressman (former Army Rangers).
Growing up in Kentucky for a while...our state had heavy support from Congress and very generous military spending. Today, it's no longer that way thanks to the lack of support by current Kentucky congressional members that have medical backgrounds.
