> Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased in 48 states and the District of Columbia

> Personal income, in current dollars, increased in all 50 states and the District of Columbia in the fourth quarter of 2024

These are from your link. Where did you get the idea that red states are the only ones that grow?

GDP growth is higher in red states in that link, but red states also received something like 80–90% of the funding from the trillion dollars or so passed by the Democratic Congress and President.

Also to see how this actually plays out, compare CA to TX. gdp Growth in TX is much higher. But personal income growth in CA is much higher than in TX.



Yeah ~1% growth is anemic while states like Arkansas are growing at more than 5%.

California is losing population at all income levels. Texas is growing. Meanwhile the personal income growth is about the same between the two.
