Red States Are Outperforming Blue States Economically

4

And the Blue State Democrats destroyed the lives of their constituents in the process – cities burned, businesses bankrupted, suicide, drug abuse, alcoholism, child abuse – all in their depraved hunger for power.

Why would anyone want to live in a Blue state? The choice could not be clearer on November 3rd. Vote Republican.

Red states are outperforming blue states economically

By Washington Examiner, October 5, 2020

States run by Republican governors on average have economically outperformed states run by Democratic governors in recent months.

The difference in economic growth is likely due to the pathway of the coronavirus pandemic in the first few months and the economic restrictions imposed by Democratic governors.

Overall, Democratic-run states, particularly those in the Northeast and Midwest, had larger contractions in gross domestic product than Republican-run states in the Plains and the South, according to the latest state GDP data for the second quarter of 2020, released by the Commerce Department on Friday. Of the 20 states with the smallest decrease in state GDP, 13 were run by Republican governors, while the bottom 25 states with the highest decrease in state GDP were predominantly Democratic-run states.

Furthermore, the average unemployment rate across Republican states was 6.5% in August, compared to an average of 9% in Democrat states, according to an analysis of unemployment data by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.

Republican-controlled Utah had the second-lowest unemployment rate in the country in August at 4.1%, and the second-lowest GDP drop, at just over 18% in the second quarter. Nevada, run by Democrats, had the highest unemployment rate, at 13.2%. It was closely followed by Democratic-run Rhode Island, 12.8%, and New York, 12.5%. New York also had a GDP loss of 30%, putting it at 44th in the nation.

“The GDP data confirms that blue states are severely underperforming red states, even if there are some outliers for sure,” said Stephen Moore, one of President Trump’s top economic advisers.

“It’s pretty clear blue states with the most severe lockdown had the most damage done to their economies,” said Moore, who is also a contributor to the Washington Examiner.

Kuffar: I think we conservatives need to organize ourselves better. Obviously, governments are not listening to us. The Republican Party is political, it’s about who gets elected. We need to organize ourselves around values, and HOW TO MAKE the lives of the USA citizenry better. There are many proven things that need to be implemented.
