And it produces? Government..........
The federal government sends an average of nearly $13,000 to Alaska for every man, woman, and child who lives in the state.
According to a Census Bureau report, which covers all federal expenditures or obligations for direct payments, grants, procurement awards, and salaries and wages, by federal agencies and programs, Alaska reaps a bigger payoff in federal spending than any other state, almost double the national average of $7,223. The second place state, Virginia, gets about $700 less per capita than Alaska.
Both those figures pale in comparison with the $68,000 per capita federal expenditures for the District of Columbia.
