Federal aid encompasses infrastructure aid per capita. If you build a billion dollar bridge in Wyoming, the per capita costs would be drastically higher than building same bridge in NY
Please feel free to back up your argument with any source to support your position
If there’s a billion dollar bridge built in Wyoming, its not built for Wyoming residents, it’s because the rest of the country needs it. They need I-80 to go cross country, or they need materials mined in Wyoming to get somewhere, or something to that effect. Rest assured, money wouldn’t net flow to red areas if the blue areas weren’t the primary beneficiaries. They easily have the votes to stop the money flow, but doing it for their own benefit and then framing it as charity to welfare queens is more politically useful.
