   Red States are welfare states!   Blood sucking rightists are worthless.   
      
   The States That Are Most Reliant on Federal Aid   
      
      
   As Americans head to the polls — or the mail-in ballot drop boxes — voters   
   will weigh in on their own state's financial health based on who they   
   elect in state, local and federal elections.   
      
   To put states' financial health — and the potential impact on residents of   
   those states — into context, MoneyGeek analyzed and ranked states   
   according to their dependence on the federal government. Rankings account   
   for political affiliation, net benefits individuals and organizations in   
   the state receive, state government revenue from federal sources and GDP   
   per capita. Key Findings:   
      
       7 of the 10 states most dependent on the federal government were   
       Republican-voting, with the average red state receiving $1.05 per   
       dollar spent. Twenty-nine states sent more to the federal government   
       than they received, compared to just nine states in 2021. Of the   
       states that sent more than they received, 52% were Democrat-voting and   
       48% were Republican-voting. New Mexico had the highest return on   
       federal spending of any state ($3.69), and Delaware had the lowest   
       ($0.32).
