Its from recovery.gov but I don’t see anything wrong with the numbers aside from the problems we already know. In fact the real issues appear when you zoom in. For instance, 5.5 million dollars awarded to Michigan only produced some 10,000 jobs (many of those were census jobs)

Paying taxes is no excuse for having a hand out. Its like a crack addict asking the crack dealer to keep giving him crack that he’s already paid for. The cycle has to be broken, not justified and perpetuated.
As far as immigration is concerned, we can’t afford another “flawed” candidate. If there are 30 million illegals in America, that’s enough to populate more than 50 congressional districts. Those here are an enormous burden on our economy and if allowed to stay and bring their extended families they will be the cause of a permenent democrat majority.

The primary problem is too many dollars go to the Feds in the first place. They take our money and return it piecemeal granting more to favorites or adding strings attached to use our own money.

This gives the data in a table. The top ten best for jobs/$ were:
Florida
Idaho
North Carolina
Ohio
Connecticut
Hawaii
Nebraska
Texas
Alabama
Oklahoma
The sad part even these averaged over $200k per job. In Minnesota spent $1.2 million per job.
Thanks again.
