A review of Internal Revenue Service data conducted by Michael Franc, vice president of government relations at Heritage — a conservative think-tank — found that Democrats control the majority of the country's wealthiest congressional jurisdictions, and that more than half of the most affluent households are located in the 18 states where Democrats control both Senate seats.
Now comes the CBO with yet more news of the sort that neither Capitol Hill nor the White House is likely to welcome: its freshly released report on the federal government’s long-term financial situation. To put it bluntly, the fiscal policy of the United States is unsustainable. Debt is growing faster than gross domestic product. Under the CBO’s most realistic scenario, the publicly held debt of the U.S. government will reach 82 percent of GDP by 2019 — roughly double what it was in 2008. By 2026, spiraling interest payments would push the debt above its all-time peak (set just after World War II) of 113 percent of GDP. It would reach 200 percent of GDP in 2038.
6. Prosperity. The most prosperous nations, according to the Legatum report, are Finland, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway. These fairly homogenous European countries are the teachers' pets of global rankings, often appearing near the top because of right-sized economies and a relatively small underclass.
For a huge economy like America's, a No. 9 ranking is still respectable. And part of the drop from last year's No. 4 spot is a change in methodology that puts more emphasis on the health and safety of citizens. Still, in the index's subrankings, the United States isn't even in the top 10 for economic fundamentals, safety and security, or governance. We should do better.
If you want to go to a great country go to one that is aruound 90 percent white like the US used to be...
I wonder will the Govenor elects of New Jersey/Virgina turned down the rest of the stimulus money yet to be spent for thier states??? Will they return any money that was spent from the stimulus???. I think the answer is "NO".
Hypocrisy is at work with some of our Republican friends because when they get money, be it a congressman,Senator or Gov. of a state they will spend it. (example Bobby Jindal spending on building projects in and around Baton Rouge and Northern Louisiana and Texas Gov. Rick Perry dropping fed money on the Gov's mansion in Austin. It was money from the stimulus. FACT)
Just keeping you honest and keeping it real tea baggers!!!
Finland,Switzerland,Sweden,Denmark and Norway have a form of universal healthcare and has invested in infrastructure and education for its people by the goverments of those countries.
Gee sometimes facts get in the way when you try to be a racist asshole and play the fact that these are mostly white countries instead of the fact that these countries put thier financial resources to better the lives of its people.

This is misleading on many levels since you provided no source for the claim.
Why don't you Obongo lovers give up 90 percent of what you make to the government that you love so much. That sounds very fair to me.
