North Dakota? Or New Mexico?

Fascinating!

Compare North Dakota to Michigan, for a REAL eye opener!

Now, let's see...which state is famous for its dominant union workforce? Which state decided to set up a local version of the welfare state?

Is there a lesson someone in power might wish to absorb from this example?

Does anybody live in North Dakota? I suppose someone must, if there's an unemployment rate.
