It isn't just blue states. Red states like Kentucky are in royally deep shit. Hell, public pensions in every state are in royally deep shit. Just Illinois, California are the best examples of malicious mismanagement and gross incompetence. Illinois paid hedge fund managers a 2.5% fee to LOSE money last year, maybe it was 2016, regardless its pathetic. Those idiots lost money when a fucking monkey could've made money.

Oh, well, I'll just say "I tried" in the "real world" and see how far that gets me (fired for incompetence).
