    Downward sprawl and upward migration and associated industries are mostly behind these numbers. There's plenty of Rick Perrys spread throughout the south - where the bulk of the states are horrendous in job growth.

    TN does better than most. In my lifetime has went from TGFM (Thank God For Mississippi) to at least average if not better by most measures

    Like it or not Cruds is partly right. Many states run lock stock and barrell by
    pubs have higher unemployment rates than the national average and smaller econonomies per capita. After 40 years of sun belt growth that should not be.

    Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia all have unemployment rates higher than the national average. Texas on the other hand is wel below at 4.6%.

    No correlation at all at the state of national level that pubs are better for the economy and many southern states have higher than average taxes. Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia have high taxes. This image of pubs being better for business and for lower tax rates is bullcrap!

    I see a move to taboo in the future for this thread.

    What looks clear is Obama's amazing job growth is mostly happening in Texas, a highly conservative state.

    And of course we always love to ignore those that fall off of "unemployment" benefits because they've been unemployed so long they are no longer eligible. But hey it makes the figures look great!

    As a long- standing defender of Republican ideology for most of my life until I started actually checking the facts (starting when Dole and Clinton sold us down the river with NAFTA), I have to say that Rolltide is spot on here (and you should know how that hurts me). GOP talking points are just that: talking points. They have no basis in any fact or statistic. Most depressing was the finding that Red States take the most welfare and tax money and return the least benefits from it. Basically they're robbing us; pissing on us and telling us it's raining.
