[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8832358, member: 683408"] Because business people in those states are making money accepting and fulfilling DOD contracts. The political leanings of a business do not represent the leanings of a whole STATE. The VOTES do. Why do you keep chasing this military angle that speaks nothing to the discussion? We’re not ignoring anything. The funds you b are talking about have nothing to do with the imbalance we are talking about. And again you are back to thinking that discussing factual info is somehow supporting a “team”. Bill made $1M in stock trades for his employer. Steve made $1.85M for the same employer. Steve did better. Is that taking sides or stating facts? Trump publicly stated the Democrats have historically done a better job with the economy. Was he stating a fact, or taking sides? Don’t confuse or conflate the two. Facts don’t have feelings. They are just facts. Just like bad weather that delays your flight isn’t a personal attack on you, facts are not a personal attack or support. They are just facts. [/QUOTE]
