We gotcha beat. Los Angeles County has more people than 44 states.

Is that legal population or the illegal slave labor you seem so intent on protecting?

I'd wager that the bulk of tax-and-spending goes on inside the individual states without involving others.

Besides, if more people voted Conservative in affluent states the point would turn entirely moot.

Glad to see we're agreed that it's totally off-topic. Still, it's kind of interesting to talk about, I must admit.

It seems a lot of self-described "conservatives" don't mind spending, they just don't want to pay for it.

Any of you have a list of american states ordered by gdp per capita ?

I think a good portion of the "$$$ from blue states to red states" effect is because of the Senate, which gives Wyoming and North Dakota as many senators as New York and California. Thus, rural states tend to get more pork per capital then urban states.

I remember seeing such a chart and it had North Dakota (or was it Alaska?) as #1. can't remember where I saw it, though.

The majority of Federal land grant colleges are located in the South and Mid/Non coastal West as well.

Surely you mean Virginia, and California.

Virginia is #1 as was stated. Your right, replace Texas with Louisiana as it has Avondale where all the new LPDs are being built.

Maine builds half of the destoyers, And Conneticut builds just under half of the submarines.

California is not involved in any new naval major combatant construction.

The Port of Houston is America's largest port in foreign tonnage, and the sixth-largest port in the world.
