Maine way up there at 36%. I guess the lobster business is failing.

I see you, North Dakota.

The difference between #1 and #25 is 8 percent. That's not a lot.
Oh and racist

I can't find number 4 on the map.

As a percentage of general state revenue.. Makes since it would be states that are predominately agriculture.

#4 = Montana

That's a weird graph. That South Dakota and Montana are so high and North Dakota and Kansas are so low makes me think that there is something going on with the numbers that is not obvious to a first glance. Ditto the difference between Washington and Oregon and Georgia and South Carolina.

Well, which race receives the most welfare?

So poor Southern states with a large population of minorities require more Fed funding? Shocker!

There's a lot of poor white trash on the welfare rolls. Don't just blame the blacks.

There are lots of states with a whole lot of poor trash of all races that are pretty low on that list. Illinois, Virginia, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Dakota, Kansas, and even Washington state have a lot of poor/working class people.
I think we'd need to see more data on what the states' budgets look like inclusive of federal moneys to draw conclusions. Some of those disparities (like Arizona vs. Nevada, Oregon vs. Washington, and South Carolina vs. Tennessee and Georgia) don't make a lot of sense to me. Tennessee, Georgia, and Missouri being so high doesn't make any sense to me at all - those are generally not especially poor places and all three have major metropolitan areas that are serious economic drivers for their regions.

I didn't. I said minorities. Blacks aren't the only minority group in the USA.

So if Louisiana were to secede... how exactly would it "thrive" on its own?
Posted on 5/21/17 at 12:53 pm to cajunangelle
This graph has to be wrong. How can arizona be number 11, but nevada number 47, despite the states being nearly identical in almost every factor?
How can montana be a mooch but north dakota not be?
