Default What a surprise...

States Hit Hardest by Recession Get Least Stimulus Money

"If one relies on the Recovery.gov accounts instead, which, as of July
8, reported $218 billion of spending but without the detailed
breakdown provided by the Journal, the bottom line is the same: the
money is not going to the states hardest hit by the recession or to
the poorest states."

States with higher per capita income levels and better economies
produce better contributors, which get pork-barrel projects.

That's a shocker huh?
