Broke Cities Led By Democrats

Hmm, no replies to my post. ; )

Anyway, the data does suggest a new thread title: Broke states carried by democrats.

I'd love to superimpose the red state/blue state map over the transfer payment map.

Ricter, are you really that stupid or do you just like to stir the pot?

He's pretty stupid, but he just likes to stir the pot. For instance, he knows there were replies to his post, but since he's put half the forum on ignore for not being able to debate them, he can't see them. But he knows they're there.

He married into his job...hence the reason he is completely in favor of taxing it away...

Ever met a small business liberal? Neither have I.
 
Quote from Tsing Tao:

You've completely missed the point (as usual). The cities are incapable of managing their own budget. The fact that the Federal government collects more income tax from the states those cities are in is completely irrelevant to the spending habits of the municipalities within them.

That's especially true in my home state of California. It doesn't matter how much money they have, they always spend more. That's why the state of California and most of the major cities are burried in debt and teetering on the brink of insolvency.

Despite having the 4th highest per-capita tax burden in the nation and borrowing more than any other state in the union, California has some of the worst schools and worst roads and bridges in the country. The problem isn't money. The problem is bad management.

Probably without the drag of the red states on them, the blue states could make internal transfers to their cities in trouble, like we do at the national level. It's the overspending of the red states that's to blame.

Obviously you choose the "blue pill".

No, I made an error with that last statement. It's the under-earning of the red states that's to blame.
