God willing, I sure hope so. Ever seen that movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang? I love this quote from it:

"I swear to God, it's like somebody took America by the East Coast, and shook it, and all the normal girls managed to hang on."

He's talking about women while at a party in Hollywood, but it fits for everyone else too.

The highways that get red state produce to blue state mouths

It also doesn't factor in welfare payouts, federal education funding, mass transit funding, government agency real estate, science funding, etc.

Cities receive way more money from the feds than rural states.
