I don't know where you are getting the data. Google suggests to me that Florida gets $2.02 per dollar invested. https://wallethub.com/edu/states-most-least-dependent-on-the-federal-government/2700/#methodology https://wallethub.com/edu/states-most-least-dependent-on-the... In any case, the specific source of federal largess to Florida is not relevant to my main point. Namely, help the humans rather than the municipality. In much the same way, if it were a for-profit corporation that was failing horribly, I'd suggest giving the former human workers limited assistance designed to get them back into the workforce and letting the corporation die. That would be true even if other corporations get corporate welfare (which I also oppose). Since you seem to favor the municipality over the humans, one might ask why? To avoid status quo bias, lets ask why we shouldn't shift other programs to favor municipalities over humans, e.g. social security goes to the state where work was performed rather than the individual human who did the work?
