This bullshiter's cost of living argument cuts both ways. To be fair, Connecticut should get more federal benefits than Oklahoma does because its higher cost of living means it also pays MORE TAXES than Oklahoma.

But no! Oklahoma gets just as much (if not more) federal benefits per capita, even though Connecticut contributes more $ to the federal pie.
