Taking this at face value, it means much more.

For example, “blue” states, already financial basket cases because of their unwillingness to curtail spending, are more than willing to strangle business through required unionism demands and now taxation, yet are apparently going to now import vast numbers of non-working, poor people to get on their Medicaid dole.

“Red” states, on the other hand, are already moving to economic viability by being willing to cut back spending, lower taxes, and allow market forces to work. They will likely slash their Medicaid payments down to the “poverty level” minimum, driving out vast numbers of “minimum wage poor people.”

In a nutshell, “blue” states == high prices, high taxes and reduced tax revenue, few jobs and fewer businesses, lots of poor people resulting in higher crime rates, homelessness, etc. Their finances will be a mess and no Republican president is going to give them “free money” that they can waste.

They will go the path of California.

“Red” states, on the other hand, will have lower prices, lower taxes and higher tax revenue, low unemployment and many new businesses resulting in high wages, budget surpluses, few unions and low crime.

And they will not be thrilled to fund the folly of the “blue” states.

Of course the red states won’t appreciate funding this. And countless other things. At a certain point that’s where the political battle lines will be drawn: between those who want the producers to subsidize them and those who think that the historical political affiliation is no longer advantageous.
