This story about counties who voted for Obama receiving twice as much Federal Stimulus money as counties who voted for McCain is silly.
I’m a county and I voted for McCain. Chances are I’m Republican or Libertarian and believe we should take care of our own and that the government’s job is defense, policing, and for me, the keeping of our Public Natural National Resources.
Am I going to spend my time filling out paper work to get my pot holes filled?
No.
I’m a county and I voted for Obama. Chances are I’m Democrat and believe it’s the government’s job to fix all that ails everyone. By taking someone else’s money and paying for it.
Am I going to apply for government stimulus money to ……..whatever. Upgrade my park, add in a bicycle path, finance an ice rink?
Yes.
no story.
