The dollar amount is the amount the State received from the Federal Government for every dollar the state sent to the Federal government. So States that got back LESS than $1.00 for each dollar sent to Washington are subsidizing the States that got back MORE than $1.00 for each dollar sent to Washington. Texas is the only RED State that got back less than it sent while 16 BLUE States SENT more than they got back.
