ANALYSIS: States Hit Hardest by Recession Get Least Stimulus Money
Sunday, July 19, 2009
By John Lott
The stimulus bill "includes help for those hardest hit by our economic
crisis," President Obama promised when he signed the bill into law on
Feb. 17. "As a whole, this plan will help poor and working Americans."
But FOXNews.com has analyzed
data tracking how the stimulus money is being given out across the 50
states and the District of Columbia, and it has found a perverse
pattern: the states hardest hit by the recession received the least
money. States with higher bankruptcy, foreclosure and unemployment rates
got less money. And higher income states received more.
