Re: "Red state vs. Blue state?"
Education and Housing are corruptible too... There's just less money to be made there right now. We could discuss where "defending people from tyrants" goes in the scale of 'local or federal'. But why not let local communities determine their own way? Rural vs. Urban environments might have totally different approaches to, say, healthcare or public transportation. Who benefits when this just HAS to be solved with a federal mandate?

Red state vs. Blue state? — Have you ever noticed how the media refers to Democrat-dominated states as Blue and Republican-dominated ones as Red? My observation is that if you see a county-by-county breakdown of the country, only the major metropolitan areas are really all that blue in the first place. Rural areas in so-called Blue states are actually just as Red as any other state!
