You looked up the wrong statistic. Nevada is 24th in income rank, which is pushed mainly by Las Vegas. Nevada is 32nd in population. Making 35 billion wildly disproportionate.
remarkable confluence because i did not look up income by accident. my mistake was thinking the territories in the wikipedia table were not included in the number rank because their entries in the table don't have a number displayed. but it is actually counted which offsets the states' relative positions. just put them into a different table, damn.
anyway i couldn't find an actual budget document, just the 90% cut to the military on their website so who knows what arithmetic is behind this promise to Nevada.
They mention it in the opening of the Wikipedia article since you mentioned it.
Also further down in the same table you referenced it is mentioned.
I’m still confused as to where you got the 24th number, if it wasn’t from confusing the income rank for population rank.
the US states and territories sorted by population, not Nevada's page. but apparently the territories' numbers not appearing on that table is only on the new dark mode, not the normal white layout of the page
