The governor of a state utterly reliant on transfer funds from the federal government being against big government and pro fiscal discipline is hilarious [/quote]

I think you need to read more and stop posting because recent data doesn’t align with your claims:

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).

Arkansas is at #24, behind Blue Maryland at #23.  Blue NM is #1

To find the states in the U.S. that were most dependent on the federal government in 2022, MoneyGeek analyzed the return on taxes sent to the federal government and the percent of each state’s revenue provided by the federal government. [/quote]

2022 SmartAsset Study: States Most Dependent on the Federal Government

Billions of dollars are at stake each year for individual states when lawmakers in Washington D.C. negotiate the following year’s federal budget. For 2023, President Biden is calling for a 7% increase in federal spending as part of his $5.8 trillion budget proposal. While this money will ultimately play a major role in how states fund themselves, some states are more reliant on federal dollars than others. For example, Wyoming gets over 56% of its revenue from federal sources, but only 27% of Hawaii’s revenue comes from the federal faucet. With this in mind, SmartAsset took a closer look at individual states to determine which ones are most dependent on the federal government.

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.

This is SmartAsset’s third annual study on the states most dependent on the federal government. Check out the 2021 version here.

Key Findings
Red states dominate the top 10. Eight of the 10 states most dependent on the federal government traditionally vote Republican. New Mexico (No. 2) is the only state in the top 10 to vote for the Democratic candidate in any of the last six presidential elections. Maine (No. 8), which splits its delegates, has voted for both Democrats and Republicans in the recent elections."

Eh, my data is more recent and Arkansas isn’t in your SmartAsset’s top 10, either.  [/quote]
