Anybody know why Vermont does so well? It’s such a lefty state, I am surprised it isn’t in financial trouble. Perhaps all 3 VT Freepers could enlighten us. ;-)

Where is the list? The source does not give the information based on state. I want to know how my state came out.

Here is a link to the source organization.

Despite the high state debt levels, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Wyoming maintained positions at the very top of the list this year. Many of these states at the top of the list ranked very well across the board.

In predicting states' future economic performance, New York, Vermont, Maine, California, and Hawaii scored the lowest in the rankings.

Looks like Vermont is balancing their books on the backs of their children.
