'Needs to resign': Blue state blasted for asking for loan amid skyrocketing immigrant healthcare costs

Oops Kevin.........

Ohhh Jerry...you don't even see that stupid Tom used cities instead of states for his crime stats...or that he used absolute instead of per capita figures for homeless populations?

Tom LUVVVs to twist stats. It's pretty transparent, though, and I'm surprised you were duped by it.

Example: Texas has fifty times as many rapists as Vermont. Is that because Texas is conservative and Vermont is liberal?

Or would a fairer comparison be per capita?

Similarly, there are more homeless people per capita in cities than in rural areas...so heavily urbanized states have more homeless people .

DUHHH, Jerry!

Crime is in the major population centers, so acities metric is better. 

As usual LAM can't read. The homeless stats are per capita. 

LAM said in this thread  red states have higher homeless rates per capital & I showed he is wrong as usual. Now he is squirming. 

Wow, you can't even read your own shit? Right on the front page, there's a bar graph showing IN LURID COLORS how California has a homeless population of 171,000 people, EEEEEEEEK! They're using absolute numbers to make their "point."

Since stupid fucking Tom was attempting to "prove" that liberal cities have more crime than conservative cities, only a city-to-city comparison would make sense--not a state-to-state comparison, idiot fucking bozo Tom.

The only fair metric would be to compare cities of equal demographics, including income and physical geography, and try to make the major variable political affiliation. It would be unfair, for example, to compare one city with harsh weather to another with mild weather--the latter would have a higher rate of homelessness.

So what you want to do to invalidate stupid Tom's contention is to compare cities of roughly equal size, similar economic characteristics, and similar geography. Turns out that when you do that, conservative cities have a SLIGHTLY higher rate of homelessness AND a slightly higher rate of crime. The differences, though, are barely within the range of statistical variation.

The abovementioned measures have been made literally hundreds of times, by sources on all sides of the political spectrum, over the last several decades. It turns out that the major factor affecting crime and homelessness is population density, which is of course independent of partisan politics.

Stupid Tom!

OH !    AND THANKS FOR STOPPING BY !!!!

The one I like is the top 10 states that get more federal money then they send, 9 of the top 10 are red. The 1 blue one is New Mexico.

Secession is ultimately the way to go. I don't want to pay for some Kansas goober's shotgun shells or beer.

Interestingly, if you separated the US into red and blue states, Blue States of America would vault to the highest-income and wealthiest per-capita nation in the world, while Red States of America would slide to 24th. They're dragging us down.

  Please secede  - America will be better off for it.

I would LOVE to get rid of you. But how would you get along without all that welfare money we send you?
