Somewhat deceptive. Southern states have large military presence. That gets accumulated into their baskets. Fort Campbell, fort hood, redstone arsenal, ft benning, fort bragg. I don’t know if it’s fair. Most big military bases are where it appears it’s cheaper to operate or in states friendly to operate.
In addition the percentage of minority population plays into it also. Again just an observation.
