I read the artical unlike you i know what numbers and graphs say and there is not a fucking thing in that artical or there source that states the numbers asked or where they got the figures only that you are suppost to believe what they say. Think for yourself and give some real statistics and sources instead of the first thing google popped up when you searched or gtfo hear with the bull shit.Sorry that you lack basic reading comprehension or an understanding of numbers. The sources are still there.
Even the end of the artical starts naming some things not listed

Dr. Benjamin Clark, an associate professor at the University of Oregon, told Yahoo Finance that certain state programs can create "an appearance of dependence" even though they are sometimes driven by federal investments "that have nothing to do with entitlement programs." For example, he said, some states have a "disproportionately" large number of military bases, which creates more federal job opportunities.
"Excise taxes, corporate income taxes, tariffs, Social Security, and Medicare and Medicaid all have separate ways in which they bring in money to the federal government coffers," he said. "Some of these taxes may be a much larger burden on residents of these 'dependent' states than those in wealthier ones."
