I couldn't help clicking...

...on this story from my Comcast homepage, "America’s cheapest states to live in 2014." Here's the list*:

1. Kentucky
2. Arkansas
3. Oklahoma
4. Louisiana
5. West Virginia
6. Mississippi
7. Indiana, Alabama (tie)
9. Tennessee
10. South Carolina

Sorry to sound snarky here, but maybe those states are cheap because nobody wants to live there.

Remember that next time some Illinois Republican spouts off about relocating to Indiana (above). Go ahead, I always say, it's cheap for a reason.

* All red states, by the way.
