Route Fifty: The share of states’ revenue made up by federal dollars rose in fiscal year 2016 for the third year in a row, largely because of growth in Medicaid grants to states. The federal government provided 32.6 percent of 50-state revenue in fiscal 2016—the third-largest share on record—up from 31.9 percent in fiscal 2015.
