That one is less of a win because it's mostly state funded. What you want is a lot of folks so old or poor or badly paid that they get a lot of social security, Medicare, Medicaid, and earned income credits from the feds. Plus military bases

They privatized prisons. They're for profit and Republicans pass laws to help keep them full.

Though with prisons you make the metros that pay taxes fund jobs and construction in rural areas, so that helps state Rs
