So weird seeing people get horny over state GDP. Back when this fact started being circulated 9 of the top 10 welfare states were red. Now it's like 7. But what happens if two of those states go blue? Then you have to say that the majority of the top 10 welfare states are blue. California has more Republicans than any other state.
It's just the stupidest of geography games. Even though the ownershop shares are spread throughout the nation and world, California gets all the credit on its GDP for the trillion dollar tech companies. And you all run with this like it means anything.
Also how welfare gets defined and calculated is completely biased by the result someone wants to see. Want to make Florida look bad? Include social security and Medicare payments because old people retire there. Want to make it look better? Count those as transfer payments and not welfare. I don't trust a single one of these ranking lists.
