Hmmm....so for the first time in our nation's history Florida, Texas, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Tennessee are contributing more to the national GDP than the Northeast, even with its Washington-New York-Boston corridor of kleptocrats and the trend is continuing.  The NE is down $60B in GDP and the south is up $100B.  Wonder why?  I don't.  Right to work, low taxes (no income taxes in TX, FL and TN), reasonable housing costs, low crime outside the large Dem controlled cities, freedom from tyrannical state govt, etc.  Also has resulted in a mass exodus from many NE states and of course California to the South.  Who would have thunk it?  Me for one.

I would say that these NE states might wake up but they seem determined to double down on stupid.  So much that this trend will likely not just continue but will accelerate.

My work and CA kin folks have proven that CA folks have never traveled east and think the South is San Diego!  If 20 miles of west coast dirt (shoreline) fell into the ocean, the folks left would be fine.

One step at a time.  As the study pointed out the South's increase in GDP is accelerating.  The average increase in the southern states was 6.6% versus California at a paltry 0.7%, although still very large but still way less than the southern states.  In the PNW contribution to GDP is paltry in comparison to the southern states (around 19%) although their annual increase is comparable to southern states.  Obviously comparing one state (CA) or two states (PNW) to five states is a tad unfair but the trend is not good for the NE or CA.

The point I was making, which is undeniable, is that the southern states included in the list are on the rise in comparison to the NE and CA.  They are losing ground while the southern states are gaining and that trend is accelerating.  I posited why I thought this was the case.
