The real reason we have a national debt is that many states don't pull their weight and they tend to
be conservatively run states. Kentucky thanks in large part to McConnell is the biggest dead beat state.
A dead beat state is one that contributes less in federal taxes than it consumes in federal spending.
Many of the liberal states have big surpluses which means they have to support the dead beat states.
Is that fair? If a state invests in good school systems, quality infrastructure, makes investments, supports
small businesses and is very successful, should they be forced to support states that are a drag on
the country and a threat to our national security?
