The GOP Red States Likely To Lose The Most With Sequestration - They Get The Most Fed Money.

Irony is the spice of life. The voters in the southern states support the politicians who are screwing them the most with the budget deal. These people are the most poverty stricken and depend on food stamps, welfare and other programs. All you have to do is look at the numbers.

Is it possible that they will ever wake up?

They voted blue for Obama, but can also vote red. They aren't really blue states.
