That's the very problem we are talking about - they are little Venezeulas, undiversified economies who got lucky with natural resources. Bottom line is that MOST Pub run states are shitholes, economically stagnant and one dimensional which is why you had to pretend Colorado is a Pub state when it's clearly not. California is world's fifth largest economy and it's completely Dem run.

A count earlier this year found half a million homeless people on one night in America. The problem is most severe in the west, where rates of homelessness are skyrocketing in a number of major cities, and where states like California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington have some of the highest rates of per capita homelessness. HMMM?
