The Soviets produced many more engineers than the United States throughout the entirety of the cold war. Today it's India and China. Same old story. I don't think it really matters.

As it stands, most of these states survive on federal aid handouts (they take more in federal assistance than give in in taxes).

Yea! Except Texas would have the 15th largest GDP in the world if it was a separate country.
