What? NO New Hampshire? I’m shocked! Actually proud that we will not be held responsible for the downfall of America!
We can then let everyone know to “Live Free or Die” is just not an expression.

The site does not include federally directed funds to acorn etc.

It just lists the projects that the money allocated to each state will be spend on, from the national Mayors list.

I am sure there is money for Scranton desigmated from the feds.

To see you have to read through those 800 pages or so.

I did find time to analyze the # projects by State, controlled by population - and compare that to party representation, using U.S. Senate and House.
I find no bias by party affiliation.
The # of projects is pretty evenly distributed without regard to party.
Now, I guess I’ll look at spending.

Nail, meet hammer.

Just checked on Missouri. All the projects are in the few counties that went for Obama! Nothing for the conservative areas:

Looks like piles of pork for some of the Republican areas of Texas.

I just checked the Texas stats for Houston and Austin

Houston has $587,696,000
Austin has $1,032,296,360

Houston population of 2.2 million. ( 5.6 million in the metro area)
Austin population of 743,074. (1.6 million in the metro area)

Someone explain to me why Austin should get almost twice as much $$ as Houston, when their population is about 1/3rd less.

Of course, as a rule I would say that Houston area voters are much more conservative than the Austin crowd.

“Stimulus tasers!!!”

Will they use them on rat tax cheats? That would help.
