California should top the list and they should make an exception for D.C. to be included on the list at number two...

Many of the states on the list have had huge increases in illegals, such as Arizona, Iowa, Texas, Utah and Colorado.

There's a list?

All I saw was a link to a video.

It’s more like a slide show than a video. You can scroll through the photos underneath the large photo to see the states and other info, and skip the slide show.

Went through them. This is liberal socialist scumbag BULLS**T.

Not one of the leftwing states is mentioned except Michigan.

ALL OF THE SUCCESSFUL STATES ARE MENTIONED, Texas was high on the list.

New York, California and so on were notably missing and they have some rock-stupid people if they stay in those socialist hellholes.

I did not say the article made sense to me, just that it was interesting that there was not more listed.

Though not a state, it appears DC ran out a long time ago.

Surprising thing was that they didn't list any Southern states...we always take a beating when some folks do a US wide comparison.

As a Texas resident, I’d have to disagree. It’s not that we are running out of smart people, it’s that we are gaining stupid people at an alarming rate and they are beginning to outnumber the smart.

That’s because they already think we are stupid.

They are basing it on the increase in college grads.

This actually shows just the opposite... states with people dumb enough to bury themselves in student loans for degrees in "communications."

It the same thing bashing Texas for low high school graduation rates among the adult population, by counting legal and illegal immigrants from Mexico and Central America who never got beyond elementary or middle school.

“There’s a list?”

If there’s one thing I -HATE-, it’s badly-written web pages like this that force you to navigate through page after page (or pic after pic) to see “the list”.

So here it is:

10. Utah
9. Texas
8. Iowa
7. Wyoming
6. Arizona
5. Alaska
4. Idaho
3. Oklahoma
2. Michigan
1. Colorado

But I don’t see any info there that would lead one to believe that the states in question are “running out” of smart people.

Rather, as another poster mentioned above, it probably has more to do with the influx of south-of-the-border illegals (who, as a group, have a lower IQ and education than do the Euro-Americans already residing in those states) who are skewing the numbers.

Another web page that is all smoke and no fire....
