The next highest is Delaware GDP = $69,667 per person
One logical conclusion one might reach is that the entire country needs to emulate whatever it is that is happening in Washington, D.C.
Another would be that GDP doesn't necessarily mean what it appears to.

Rev 19:9-10 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Most red states have their state budgets heavily subsidized by money coming from blue states. The appearance of gain or decline is really just a redistribution of weath. Funny that the right applauds redistribution when it makes their policies appear valid. Of course, the reality is that their policies work fine as long as someone else can foot the bill.

edit: For the record I have no issue with wealthy states subsidizing less-wealthy states, since they are all part of the same system and deserve support even if their contributions to society don't earn as much cash. This policy does go against conservative economic principles, however.
