I argue that counting Federal contracts and social security payments as "taking" and lumping those funds in with with Federal welfare programs and then using those totals to rank each state as a takers or giver doesn't convey anything.

If you want to take those Federal contracts and social security out of those figures and then rank the states that might mean something.

I don't doubt the lefty profs' numbers. Their logic is certainly sub-par though.
