Smaller government austerity policies in red states have created
macroeconomic societies with high poverty and low education rates.
Low-paying jobs and lack of health care also dominate states that have
implemented the smaller government theories of conservative ideology.
In Texas, for example, decades of Republican control, from the
governor’s office down to state and local legislatures, the Tea Party
ideological model is in place. And it has the highest poverty rate of
“any large industrial state,” according to Texas Politics data.
The data showed
similar high poverty rate numbers for other red states, including
Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Tennessee.
Lack of health care is also a bigger problem in states following the
conservative Republican ideological view of less funding for government
assistance programs.
Hunger is also a bigger problem among states where Republicans have had
their way with local budgets. And while southern red states do not have
a lock on growing US poverty rates, they still lead with the worse numbers.
More than 24 percent of the people in Mississippi suffer from food
deficiencies, with Alabama coming in second at nearly 23 percent.

I have witnessed this down here in Mississippi all my life! The poor folk down here put the same ole republicans in office over and over,yet they blame democrats, immigrants, and minorities for all of their ills. We are the poorest state in the union,but yet we have one of the highest grocery taxes! The republicans and teabaggers down here hate the federal government,but this state couldn't survive without federal dollars! The 1st department republicans down here cut is EDUCATION! Keep them dumbed down! The uneducated are the easiest to misled!

all joking aside -- this is a sad sad state of affairs. Compromising education should never be the answer.

All due respect. IMO the problem with education is not a financial one. The problem I see with education is parents that don't give a f u ck about setting high goals for their kids.
How can you justify throwing good money at a hopeless situation?

Because poverty is indicated in the infographic by coloring it red, and prosperity
North Dakota and South Dakota Both went Republican in 2012, but are illustrative of opportunities that are in that region. The gas exploration and drilling in those states is ridiculous.
Also, there are more Red Sates than Blue states.
IF you want to make spurious and reaching correlation have fun with this infographic.

Rick -- numbers are numbers. stats are stats. trends are trends. etc... You can choose to write them off as "spurious and reaching correlations" all you want but at the end of the day numbers (especially those that are repeatable year after year) do not lie.
And I am not sure what you are trying to imply with the African American link. That link can be interpreted many ways. Some which have more support than others.

numbers don't lie?
Numbers lie all the time.
An example of this is the fact that there is a stronger correlation with African American numbers and poverty than there is with "red states" and poverty.
I am not bringing this up because I am some sort of racist, but because it is a spurious correlation.
