  Sounds like they are weighted by state gdp, but that seems less than ideal because a state that has very little industry and which doesn’t provide many services has a suppressed gdp compared to other states.

  Also what the heck type of measurement is net federal money flow per share of state gdp. That’s a really overly specific way of wording things and it seems like an easy way to be technically correct but hide a bunch of shit off to the side.
