I beg to differ; it is FUNDED BY liberal policies. Those government workers are simply drawing incomes from 49 other states and spending it in Maryland.

I would argue that being funded by liberal policies is different than being subject to the effects of liberal policies.

I only have to look back at my home state of CA to see the effects of liberal policies. They are driving the state into the ground. When I retire from my government job, I may not go back to CA...

My point was that Maryland is spared the socialist rot of NJ/NJ, IL, and CA because the wealth transfer ends in Maryland (on the federal level). Maryland isn’t thriving because of industry or business; it is thriving because federal bureaucrats infest it, and spend their ill-gotten gains there.
