Perhaps -- or at least blatant political favoritism.
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.The reports show the 872 counties that supported Obama received about $69 per person, on average. The 2,234 that supported McCain received about $34.
Gee, even the funding of military bases appears tied to whether or not a county voted for Obama. So much for little things like national security and military necessity -- they appear to be using your tax dollars to fund their 2012 election campaign.
It's not just that there is a disparity that raises the concern -- that could be explained by a number of factors. But 2-to-1? That boggles the mind.
