Flight from blue states. (Reddit)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Blue states push to make the “progressive agenda” a reality. Increase taxes on the rich and corporations, fund more “social programs”, throw money at problems instead of resolving the cause, etc. Money spent on illegal aliens that shouldn’t’ be? Ditto. There is even an instance of a blue state painting some of its roads “white” to help “combat climate change”.<\/p>\n

Conservative policies, on the other hand, acknowledge human nature and its role in generating wealth. Red states push for policies that improve the odds that wealth is generated… More incentive is there to generate wealth and to engage in capitalism.<\/p>\n

We saw this come to the surface when the tax code was changed to limit how much state and local taxes could be deducted. This pandemic is showing another example of how these states are reacting.<\/p>\n

From the New York Post:<\/span><\/p>\n

“I think Congress is inclined to do a lot of things but I don’t think they’re inclined to do bailouts. A bailout is different than, you know, reimbursing for the plague<\/strong><\/span>,” said Trump, who also predicted a strong economic rebound from the coronavirus crisis by the end of the year, and offered his opinions on presumptive Democratic challenger Joe Biden’s best pick for a running mate and the sex assault allegations facing the former vice president.<\/p>\n

“It’s not fair to the Republicans because all the states that need help — they’re run by Democrats in every case. Florida is doing phenomenal, Texas is doing phenomenal, the Midwest is, you know, fantastic — very little debt.<\/strong><\/span>”<\/p>\n

Trump also said, “You look at Illinois, you look at New York, look at California, you know, those three, there’s tremendous debt there, and many others.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“I don’t think the Republicans want to be in a position where they bail out states that are, that have been mismanaged over a long period of time<\/strong><\/span>,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The New York Post provides a couple of stories for details. One on the blue state<\/a>s needing money, and another on the New York Governor slamming Mitch McConnnell as the “Grim Reaper<\/a>“.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
