Stimulus Money Going To Democrat Districts Over Republican Districts two-fold

I got the following Email yesterday from my good friends at George Mason University:

FoxNews.com and the Washington Examiner ran stories this morning on a new study from Mercatus Center scholars Veronique de Rugy and Jerry Brito that reveals the straight facts about stimulus spending:

Stimulus spending in Democrat districts is almost twice that of Republican districts
Majority of stimulus spending is not going to the states with the highest unemployment rates

Statistics to support these findings were taken from government data, such as Recovery.gov, economic and political data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Census Bureau & GovTrack.us.

You can find the study, including charts/graphs, here: http://mercatus.org/publication/stimulusfacts

If you have any questions or want to speak with Veronique or Jerry, let me know.

Does this surprise anyone? Obama ran on the premise that he was different, and that under his administration it would not be politics as usual.

He was right, it isn't politics as usual. It's worse.
