  The source under the page you cite shows Florida as #32 [Edit: the graphical tool shows it as #35] in per-capita balance payments (in direction towards state) over time. Next time you lie, try not using a source that contradicts yourself. https://rockinst.org/issue-areas/fiscal-analysis/balance-of-payments-portal/ https://rockinst.org/issue-areas/fiscal-analysis/balance-of-... https://rockinst.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Balance-of-Payments-Federal-2022.pdf https://rockinst.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Balance-of-P...

I do not see how that could be just from all the old people receiving social security/Medicare benefits.

  Yes and despite that they have below average per capita federal aid. Not only that, they had a record surplus in their state budget the last year. If someone were to try and attempt to portray Florida as some fiscally irresponsible welfare state, I would assert they would be quite misguided.

    Interesting. I do not know how reliable this website is, but apparently, it incorporates Social security/Medicare spend also: https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/federal-spending-by-state https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/federal-spe...

      Interestingly, it does not rank them per capita. California receives the highest at $12/person. Florida receives the third highest at $2700/person. Something does not jive

        The numbers are net federal dollars received per resident of the state, and they are ranked at the bottom. California received the lowest compared to how much California paid the federal government. Florida is ranked in the middle. Although, I clicked on the source and data is from 2013 so I wish I had found a more recent source.
