USA Today shows what all of us knew when the stimulus was being written, the money is going disproportionately to those areas of the country that supported Obama.

WASHINGTON — Billions of dollars in federal aid delivered directly to the local level to help revive the economy have gone overwhelmingly to places that supported President Obama in last year’s presidential election.

BUT BUT BUT…

That aid — about $17 billion — is the first piece of the administration’s massive stimulus package that can be tracked locally. Much of it has followed a well-worn path to places that regularly collect a bigger share of federal grants and contracts, guided by formulas that have been in place for decades and leave little room for manipulation.

Counties that supported Obama last year have reaped twice as much money per person from the administration’s $787 billion economic stimulus package as those that voted for his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain, a USA TODAY analysis of government disclosure and accounting records shows. That money includes aid to repair military bases, improve public housing and help students pay for college.

Shocker #2, those areas that receive massive amounts of money from Democrats, vote Democratic. So it makes perfect sense that the areas that already receive massive amounts of government money would be the first to get MORE government money. Not the areas that are suffering and need government money. The areas that already receive it.

BUT BUT BUT

They have the infrastructure to support that money already in place…

Well if the stimulus was to CREATE jobs rather than 100% continue to fund those jobs already funded by the government, wouldn’t you sent it to places that need new infrastructure & jobs? Yeah, of course you would.
