Blue states hand out more money for manyh reasons. One reason that your skewed stat fails to account for is that most people want to retire in red states (Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Nevada) and escape drab and expensive blue states. That means Social Security and Medicare recipients are in red states. Infrastructure should be addressed...and the individual states should address it.
