Well, we knew from the beginning the so called Stimulus Bill was in reality the Porkulus Bill and we were proved right.

This $840 BILLION was not to be spent on creating jobs in the private sector, as promised. The private sector is the wealth creation part of the US economy...which creats jobs in America. Government is the wealth consuming "public sector".

Instead, this outrageous sum was spent on expanding government and bailing out feckless failed demoscat controlled districts, states, counties, cities...and unions. $840 BILLION dumped in the toilet.

So, it's not surprising that most of the money...almost twice as much went to demoscat districts than went to Republican districts.

Anyone want to attempt the argument that this wasn't deliberate, wasn't planned and isn't a political payback using taxpayer money?

my dear watson i recall you complaining about republicans who didn't turn down stimulus money when it was going out. NOW you're going to complain that republican districts didn't get their fair share?? and you're going to pretend their was no cronyism going on in the previous administrations either i suppose! good grief charlie brown!!

"Using Recovery.gov data, and cleaning it up seriously to be able to use it, we find that Republican districts are getting on average $260.6 million in stimulus awards while democratic districts are getting on average $471.5 million. The average is award per district is $385.9 million."

Cleaning it up "seriously" or "selectively"? I don't know that I want to take the time to replicate her work, but there's no reason for me to trust that she got it right.
