- mullingitover 4y agoGeorgia isn't heavily subsidized (unlike most states in the region), they actually rank 36th in federal dependency[1]. Maine, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island all rank higher on federal dependency.

- jlarocco 4y agoI agree with your point, but the numbers on that site are suspicious. New Mexico's GDP isn't $400 billion - it's more like $100 billion. Colorado's is about $380-400 billion, and not $1.5 trillion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico https://www.deptofnumbers.com/gdp/new-mexico/ https://www.deptofnumbers.com/gdp/new-mexico/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Colorado https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Colorado https://www.deptofnumbers.com/gdp/colorado/ https://www.deptofnumbers.com/gdp/colorado/
