Republicans Lead the Best-Run States in America, Democrats Dominate the Worst

The annual Best and Worst Run States in America survey by 24/7 Wall St. came out today, revealing that the top 5 states are led by Republicans while the bottom five are dominated by Democrats.

The list is based on a review of data for financial health, standard of living and government services. While noting that current situations may stem from decisions made years ago and that external factors like weather can be as much to blame as poor governance, 24/7 Wall St. also points out that all of the high-ranking states have “well-managed budgets” and the worst states have “high debt relative to both income and expenditure.”

Here’s how it breaks down at the top and bottom of the list cross-referenced with details on party control based on this map from Americans for Tax Reform:

does this really need explanation? republicans are better at governing while democraps are great at redistributing their states into bankruptcy.

clinton's presidency was an abject failure until the republicans took over both houses of congress. the only reason clinton was re-elected was because of the success of the republican congress and their fiscal responsibility.
