Louisiana would have to fight crazy hard to get our proper oil and gas royalty that people like Mary landerieu let get stolen from Us. Our lack
Of political clout has killed this state. Our own politicians just stole from us for generations.

Tomorrow, suddenly, the flow of all money from the Federal spigot stops for your state. How long does your state’s society stay intact?


Republican areas would do fine

The D areas not so much

That would work as long as money flowing to fedgov stopped also.

Not one republican state is a donor state. Are you retarded?

As said, most southern states would be toast.

If Louisiana completely controlled oil/gas and the Mississippi River we would be one of the richest states.

The state of Washington sends billions more than it receives. If we stopped sending we could stop receiving and make out fine I suppose

It all comes down to demographics.

I dislike liberal policies as much as anyone but Lilly white northeastern or west coast liberal towns are wonderful. It doesn’t matter

When your population works and the leaders don’t have people dependent on them any town works regardless of policy

I in can agree with some of this. Point is southern states would suffer as a whole.

Yes, because southern states demographics will never allow them to be prosperous as a whole

I think you are retarded.

Question was my state, and I said republican areas would do fine.

I think you need to look in the mirror and see what all these red states that are good at football (LA, MS, AL, GA) have in common regarding needing federal funding.

Just google demographics. And those are the D areas by the way. Take your lily white Massachusetts and drop a good 30% welfare democrats on them and see how much federal assistance they start needing

Im not sure what you even accomplished in your response…

Yes my state would be toast, due to our democratic constituents. Hence my response republican areas would do fine

Which you said was retarded due to your lack of reading comprehension thinking I was talking about republican states
