Those states that are not in trouble are probably going to be low population relatively homogeneous states that get a lot of Federal dollars per capita and have some economic advantage like a lot of energy or natural resources that they can sell outside their own state and tax it relatively heavily. Like, e.g., Alaska or Wyoming. Name some others that allegedly have their house in fiscal order. Yeah, you're right, low population, relatively homogeneous white states tend to have Republican governments.

Some states are not in trouble because they made better choices. Like foregoing unnecessary wars and things like that?
