Some of these sites that people from Blue States like to post include Federal land , military bases and federal offices.

Those sites like to add that shite to slant the numbers.

Food programs and welfare (cash payment) , free clinics and Section 8 housing should be all that is counted.

I was wondering about this. The federal government owns something like 65% of Alaska, 50% of Wyoming - they've got to spend money to manage their own property?

Also, I wonder about - take Wyoming as an example. Wyoming produces a shite-ton of coal, oil and gas, but those operations are owned by companies headquartered out of state. So funds sent to the federal government (taxes, fees, royalties) - do those go on the books as Wyoming's flow of funds to the federal government, or the home state of the companies that own the operations? Further, the income taxes paid on salaries for headquarters, R&D, etc. that aren't located in Wyoming - - - I'm guessing those aren't credited to Wyoming even though Wyoming is the ultimate source for those salaries.

I'd be shocked if the politically bent people/organizations putting these lists out have a clue on how to actually do it.

They know what they are doing.

This has long been a Liberal talking point and people have fallen for it.

The welfare leeches are red states and blue states. It's not one sided.

But it's funny how blue state governments are begging for bailouts and not red state governments.
