What states get more from the Federal Government than they pay?

Is it mostly red states or Blue States?

This actually whether the op knows it or not is a misleading question.
States get federal monies in some instances whether they ask fer it or not. So of course theyre gonna take it.
Really its a trick question.

This is for you numbers crunchers. Fuck Joe Manchin!

To do this, we analyzed and compared data across the following metrics: federal share of state government revenue, ratio of federal funding to income taxes paid, percentage of workers employed by the federal government and ratio of median earnings for federal workers to median earnings for private workers. For details on our data sources and how we put all the information together to create our final rankings, read the Data and Methodology section below.

the 4 largest federal revenue producing states, Texas, California, Florida and New York are evenly split between red and blue and fuel the rest of the states based on a large and complex criteria such as population and resources and prove nothing in the lame argument of "whom is dependent on whom".

This OP is probably similar to Harold Ford's comment on Fox News the other day. He said that eight of the ten states with the largest increase in crime had republican governors. He stopped someone from correcting his lie but then continued, "mayors and DAs are failing to do their jobs". Read it out loud, Ford blamed governors but called out the real culprits, democrat mayors and DAs.

So, a red state may get more federal aid but most of it is concentrated in the blue cities inside that state. So, once again, it is liberal policies and not republican policies to blame. Look at Texas. A very red state except for a couple of cities. Kansas, a red state, but a very blue Kansas City and Lawrence cities. Missouri is red except for Kansas City and St. Louis.

It was Blue States drowning it debt that needed bailing out by Bidens 2 trillion dollar scam. States largest expense is Obamacare and not a single Republican voted it Why complain about paying for free healthcare that you forced on Red states The second largest expense is the interstate transportation system the brings food,water,energy and consumer supplies into overcrowded Democrat cities that don't could not survive without Red states.

Overwhelmingly RED.

Maybe that's why they are called "Red States". The "Blue States" are where all the unhappy people live.
