You would assume he had 50 votes in the senate and 218 in the House, with GOP majorities and all? Guess not. He needs Democrat votes to pass a budget and govern.

Trump is a fool. Everyone knows it. He can’t govern.

Federalism is the answer. Shut it all down. We don’t need a federal government. States are sovereign.

And yet, he overcame long odds to win the Presidency. Only a fool could have pulled that off.

Or you are the fool for believing the Hillary scam.








But at least you have HondoFS in your fool corner. So there is that.

The presidency? Lol! You are as big of a fool as the fat orangutan. He’s done nothing, and will do nothing with his “presidency.” He represents imbeciles like you.

Have Mexico pay for your wall.

Refute and rebuke all trade agreements because no one will do business with you. You have no skills, products or goods to trade in return.

Fall prey to Putin, China and North Korea, as the useful idiot that you are.

Knock yourself out with your idiocy, but know that your betters are getting the fuck out. You don’t have a problem with that?

As it turns out, it is red states that are overwhelmingly the Welfare Queen States. Yes, that's right. Red States — the ones governed by folks who think government is too big and spending needs to be cut — are a net drain on the economy, taking in more federal spending than they pay out in federal taxes. They talk a good game, but stick Blue States with the bill.

Take a look at the difference between federal spending on any given state and the federal taxes received from that state. We measure the difference as a dollar amount: Federal Spending per Dollar of Federal Taxes. A figure of $1.00 means that particular state received as much as it paid in to the federal government. Anything over a dollar means the state received more than it paid; anything less than $1.00 means the state paid more in taxes than it received in services. The higher the figure, the more a given state is a welfare queen.

Of the twenty worst states, 16 are either Republican dominated or conservative states. Let's go through the top twenty.

New Mexico: $2.03
Mississippi: $2.02
Alaska: $1.84
Louisiana: $1.78
West Virginia: $1.76
North Dakota: $1.68
Alabama: $1.66
South Dakota: $1.53
Kentucky: $1.51
Virginia: $1.51
Montana: $1.47
Hawaii: $1.44
Maine: $1.41
Arkansas: $1.41
Oklahoma: $1.36
South Carolina: $1.35
Missouri: $1.32
Maryland: $1.30
Tennessee: $1.27
Idaho: $1.21

excellent GIF, but no content

Here's the deal:

Around 14 states pay far more in Federal taxes than they get back from the Feds in terms of spending:

So the GOP-dominated states tend to have MUCH higher levels of poverty and thus higher levels of Federal spendning, since those states also do the least on their own to ameliorate their own problems:
