Switzerland and the US have almost identical government expenditure per capita. Maryland still doesn't have 25 Gbps home internet.

That's kind of their point. A lot of those government expenditures go to things that citizens of Maryland may not want or benefit from.
More federal spending goes to Maryland per capita than the US average per capita.

This isn't an an issue of people in Maryland not getting money -- they get robust federal spending and have a robust state budget of their own. This is simply: Americans getting what they vote for, which is notoriously not public infrastructure.
