Not hardly. Why do liberals wusses label every conservative as a
religious nutcase. Anyone who pays attention, apparently not Mr.
Wescott, will have taken note of my declaration of atheism _many_
years ago.

Because MOST CONservatives are religious nut cases. Maybe there are a few
like 0.1% who are not but the vast majority are religious fundies, like
Palin and Huckabee. You're in "good" company right in there with the fruit
loops. |

Sounds fishy, particularly after just watching Al Gore handle a
audience question he didn't like by turning off the questioner's
microphone.
I live in Arizona, obviously, and the numbers don't gibe.
I'd be happy to walk, and cut off California's water in the process
;-)
BTW, Indiana is quite solvent

Usually I can put my finger on a state-by-state <=> Federal flow.
For some reason tonight, I can't seem to find one that's actually per
capita.
Past numbers I've looked at certainly indicated that Arizona and Texas
would be better off.
I do know, that if we killed all liberals, it would benefit not only
the economy but the climate as well

One, education at a university is what the "student" makes it to be.
Two, what does she plan to major in?
Three, look at the grants and publications of that department. More
grants and pubs = actually doing something and possibly awake enough
to teach a good course.
Four, then look at the ratio of hired instructors and grad students
to professors teaching Math and English. If you have a high IG to P
ratio, bail....
Math and English are the weedout courses for scholarship students.

"Red staters always like to accuse blue states of high taxes.
But if they are right, one of the principal reasons blue staters
are paying higher taxes is to subsidize...red staters."
That's dumb--obviously the "higher taxes" are _state_ taxes. And,
calling California's recovery from a nasty early '90's pullback as
proof of superior as growth skews that result. And they miss the
obvious: the article complains, in essence, that blue state tax
dollars aren't coming back to them, that government is less than 100%
efficient. Duh. That's an argument against sending money to the
federal government.
But the article does make a good point: individual states are free to
implement their own healthcare plans--if that's what their citizens
want--easily, and, if all their rhetoric were true, they should.
Think of all the industry it'd attract, the competitive advantages,
etc. If the rhetoric were true, that is.
And if they succeeded, other states would copy their experiments.
That' s the way it should be.

Complication: the states that offer free or cheap medical care will
become magnets for the people with expensive medical problems.

You're invoking logic, foresight, & reason. That's cheating. I too
have a litany of objections to the schemes, but was answering the
complaint that red states are somehow holding back the blues. And,
I'm allowing for the fact that clever states might solve those
objections & prove me wrong, which would be great.
As for this objection, are there so many, and are they all that
mobile? In other contexts, would-be liberals would argue no, that
people in, say, Detroit, are hopeless, hapless victims, incapable of
relocating, and need assistance where they stand.
