Sequester damages state/Pew Charitable Trusts image
Information from Pew makes clear, as shown in more detail in the pretty picture at top, that sequester wounds are, in general, going to hit red states hardest. True, a couple of red states, Wyoming and Kansas, are on the light end, and a few are in the middle, but many will get dinged.

Take Texas. It's loss of federal grants will be 8 percent, Pew says, compared to a national average of 6.6 percent.

Here's the details for Texas.

Update: John Cornyn is doubling down on teh stupid here in Texas.
