I never saw the cogency of the drag index. My best econ profs used the ratio of total federal funds allocated over total federal taxes collected, for instance 1.82 reflects $1.82 of federal money for every $1 the "state" pays in federal taxes. The numbers are pretty friggin staggering... if memory serves basically the middle of the country suck money away from the coastal states, which pay in far more than they receive in aid.
