So Salon has an incredible interesting article that spells out the problems with both the "Red State" and "Blue State" module of economics and stability.
Story Here.
.
It is very well thought out and non-partisan, in that it points out both the positive impacts and the sustainability issues with both systems. Read it if you want a different look into our "blue / red" dynamic.
.
But it misses the mid-west and states that "work". In particular I would say it misses the dynamics of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Dakotas and Colorado - which have had to figure out a balanced system of state benefits / taxes.
.
Anyway, it is interesting and a different perspective.
