Red states, Texas, Florida lead financial distress

 


Red states such as Texas and Florida have the highest levels of citizens in financial distress. Why would that be? Could it have anything to do with the Republican policies promulgated in those states?

It is interesting how people don't vote for candidates who would further their financial interests but rather vote for candidates funded by oligarchs who fear monger blaming "the other" for peoples woes rather their own special interest policies.

How bad will it get before voters decide there is a better way?

How do West Virginians think when they choose Joe Manchin?


How is it that the people of West Virginia would elect someone like Joe Manchin to represent them in the U.S. Senate when he performs so poorly?

One reason might be that the people in West Virginia aren't that well educated. They are 45th in the nation in the quality of their education.

West Virginia ranks 41 in Pre-K through 12 and 47th in higher education.

People who make poor choices in their governmental representatives will receive poor service when it comes to their state resources for creating a quality life.

Our founding fathers knew that democracy took well educated votes if democracy is to work as a form of government of the people, for the people, and by the people. There could be no better example of the poor consequences in election decision making than in West Virginia.

The sad thing about West Virginians making such a poor choice for a Senator is that his performance not only affects the residents of West Virginia but the whole country.

How could citizens in better educated states help the voters in lower educated states choose better representatives to national office?

In the age of the coronavirus does it matter if your state is governed by Democrats or Republicans?

Comparing Kentucky and Tennesee demonstrates how much elections matter in electing a democrat or a Republican governor. Having a Democrat governor could save your life and those you love.

Stephanie Jolly of Lexington, Kentucky, created this chart and posted it on her Facebook page.  It shows that Kentucky Gov. Andry Beshear (D) acted more quickly on the coronavirus emergency than did Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R) and that the disease has not spread as fast in Kentucky as it has in Tennessee.

Democratic governors more likely to keep you safe.
