The plan is to turn the red states blue with blue-state escapees.
They don’t worry because their states will still be blue...
They all know it and don’t care. They figure that they just need to rig the elections better so that the federal government can subsidize them by passing massive bailouts, in effect taxing the prosperous red states.
That is their hope, at least. For a constant flood of “build back better.”
I think I saw something similar on Dr. Pimple Popper.
Shrinkage, ya know....
I have no doubt that, whatever GDP growth there was in the last 6-9 months, all was due to the growing economies in the blue states.
But, democrats are not going to say that or admit it. They’ll allow Biden to claim credit for any growth at all, and give the credit to republicans for any problems that arise with the economy.
That job growth that Biden claims? The ‘12 million new jobs’? No doubt that most of them came from the red states, even if those jobs are the ones returning after the pandemic.
A couple of things:
1. The Blue States are not even attracting “low income” taxpayers. They are attracting no-income taxpayers, otherwise known as tax burdens. For example, one third of the homeless in the US reside in CA.
2. One of the reasons the BS pols do nothing about this is because the people fleeing tend to vote R. So each departure tends to make the state more and more blue. Politically, that is good for them, even if it’s bad fiscally. Since those in power will always have the best of everything, it’s really not a problem for them personally.
The blue states paradox: fewer people, more ballots.
Why should they care? They are gaining more bodies (and votes) through immigration and happily losing antagonistic older white voters who are far more likely to demand they do their jobs.
Mini-Brazils with big favelas are a progressive politician's dream.
Not shriveling - redistributing.
Liberal scum should be PROHIBITED from moving to red states.
The blue states may be shriveling but the progressive cancer
is circulating through the body and metastasizing in the red organs
They do not care. Their lemmings are fleeing to red/purple states.
