I read through your source and it is non-obvious how it is relevant as a whole. It really just seems like a rationalization for a specific view point. The methodology is completely arbitrary. They just assigned seemingly whatever weights they wanted to a handful of loosely related statistical figures. I am not even sure WTH "wallethub" is anyway. It is essentially bullshit. Also even if state X gets more federal $$ than state Y it is not useful information as each state is completely unique geographically, demographically, industrially, strategically, etc. So there are endless legitimate reasons money might be spent in one place over another.
