Which amounts to blue states contributing significantly more than red states do. If the cost of living is so high in blue states, you would think they would receive MORE in federal fundingBy your link, California is 40 at a whopping $12 per residentWow, have you got anything else you can pull out of your ass???California pays more into the Federal coffers than they receive.Why is California constantly crying for more federal money???
But I have a solution, since the state can't declare bankruptcy...
We can just give it to Mexico and they can have all the Mexican citizens they want... Heck, they can even have all the "migrants" from Central America, since Mexico has offered THEM asylum!!!
Expecting more in return is crying?
How much money does your state receive from the federal government? Check out this list.
The total amount the federal government collected from each state in the 2017 fiscal year ranged from $5.6 billion from Vermont to $435.6 billion from California. The majority of states – including Vermont and California – ultimately get more money back than they contribute.
My state, NJ pays a whopping $2,600 more per resident than they receive
Most of the top ten in receiving federal funds are red states
The only thing that defines a red state and blue state is how they voted last presidential election. Nothing else.
When I watch HGTV and house sales or renovations, I'm stunned at what homes cost in blue states. For what you buy there for 800K, you can get for less than 300K here. Because the cost of living is so high in blue states, wages have to pay more to be middle class, and of course, that means higher tax contributions to the federal government. It's not that they have anything more than we do, it's just that for what they have, they pay much more for it.

They don’t, that funding goes to Red States
States don't need federal funding, people do. Per capita tell us an entirely different story about who the real moochers are.
