College Votes Big Time After 2010 Census. Hope You Enjoy This As Much
As I Did!
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/12/28/texas_shows_its_swagger_in_new_population_estimates_99702.html
This recession has seen several states move from below-average to
above-average population growth. They include Oklahoma, with its
energy-based economy; Tennessee, one of the few states without an
income tax; and South Dakota, with its thriving credit card economy.
The state with the fastest population growth in 2008-09 was
demographically tiny Wyoming, the nation's largest coal producer,
which has had a higher rate of domestic in-migration than any other
state. Just behind at No. 2 was Utah. With the nation's largest birth
rates and largest families, Utah demographically resembles the America
of the 1950s.
No. 3 in percentage population growth in 2008-09 was giant Texas, the
nation's second most populous state. Its population grew by almost
half a million and accounted for 18 percent of the nation's total
population growth. Texas had above-average immigrant growth, but
domestic in-migration was nearly twice as high.
There may be lessons for public policy here. Texas over the decades
has had low taxes (and no state income tax), low public spending and
regulations that encourage job growth. It didn't have much of a
housing bubble or a housing price bust.
Under Govs. George W. Bush and Rick Perry, it has placed tight limits
on tort lawsuits, and has seen an influx of both corporate
headquarters and medical doctors.
Bush's late job ratings may have been low, and Perry may be a wine
that doesn't travel. But their approach to governing may not be lost
even in Washington.
Polidata Inc. projects from the 2009 estimates that the
reapportionment following the 2010 Census will produce four new House
seats for Texas, one for Florida, Arizona, Utah and Nevada, and none
for California for the first time since 1850. Massachusetts, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Illinois are projected to lose
one each, and Ohio two. Americans have been moving, even in recession,
away from Democratic strongholds and toward Republican turf.

Not a huge shift in the electoral college map.

Sorry all, this indicates those entitlement states will also be seeing
massive budget shortfalls
as its generally the middle and upper class moving out, taking their
tax bucks with em!
Most of these states losing pop are ones with high taxes (MI, CA, NJ, NY....)
They still can't see how their bloated govt. spending is killing them.
Wait and see the bailout shuffle come spring for these states, I say
let em fail, renegotiate
contracts or privatize schools/services till they balance their budgets.
Not one more dime of my money should they get!

It's a conspiracy theory thing.
If you get a government contract, that means you run the government.
If that doesn't make sense, wash down some painkillers with some beer until
it does.

It wasn't a joke.
Libertarian and Republican loonies REALLY DO believe that crap.
