Governor
Here we go:

Minnesota and California, two of the most left-leaning, Democrat-controlled states in the country, are both in the midst of fraud scandals of simply breathtaking scale, as model red states like Florida and Texas are thriving. We really do have to ask the question, why?
Much of this fraud centers on social service programs like day care centers and transportation to the doctor, but there are no kids, there are no rides being given, there is just graft, often tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars at a time.
The situation in the Golden State is little better, with a recent audit leading to estimates that a stunning "$72 billion" may have been bilked from taxpayers, and that is according to Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom’s own auditor.
And here again, social services appear to be at the heart of the alleged theft. For example, payment errors in food assistance benefits could cost the state $2.5 billion in federal funds, according to the report.
There is also a bullet train to nowhere that has wasted so much money that the Trump administration is now pulling funding from it.
Gee. The liberals tried to pull that bullet train scam in Florida. Our better educated voters said hell no.
So, why are these blue states awash in fraud while red ones such as Florida and Texas thrive? Even ruby red West Virginia saw its credit rating bump up over the past year.
One answer is simply that there is more money to steal. California has a population of about 39 million and a state budget of $298 billion dollars; compare that to Florida, which boasts 23 million residents, but with a budget of only $116 billion.
Florida has no state income tax. But it has a balanced budget law. And Florida's state budget is in surplus. Florida has the best schools and the best economy in the country.
Truthfully, it probably has a lot to do with the schools. Florida schools do not socially promote a bunch of idiots who would elect a Tim Walz to the Governor's office. The last incompetent governor here was Rotten Chiles, who drug our school system down to #48 in the country. Since then, Florida residents have consistently elected Republican governors and our schools are now the best in the country.
I can't speak for Texas because I haven't been there since the late 90s. (I was born in Dallas, but the family moved to NC when I was six. )
Let's face it. Red states have better economies, better educated residents and better schools. The proof is in the idiots blue states continue to elect to public office.
