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?

If you look at the data in the report you cited you will see that one
point biases conclusions. Disregarding that point which would fall out
of consideration in any valid statistical evaluation of the data would
show a completely different conclusion. Those with the lowest per
capita income got the most stimulus money.

Has obama released the stimulus money or are the states still waiting
for it? Just a couple of weeks ago only about 5% of it had been spent
BUT obama already had a deficit over a trillion dollars in the first six
months of his administration.
