Crazy spending imbalances

Look at the imbalances of what is being spent per capita in each State from the "Stimulus money" at the following link:

I’m sure it’s typical but Missouri is getting $903.00 per person while Alaskan citizens are getting $2711.86 each spent on them. That's galling enough, by itself, with that crazy inequity but keep in mind, this is where Ms. Palin abhors government--and government spending.

Yeah, I'll bet she does.

Then, on top of that bit of indignity, Washington, DC citizens are getting $5780.30 per person spent on them.

Would someone explain this to me?

Why is it that this is supposed to make sense?

That’s some crazy imbalances.

If you’re from a large Western state where, again, they “hate government” and there’s hardly anyone out there, load up ‘cuz they’re each getting lots more money spent on each of them. (e.g., Montana @ $1,619.97 each).

Damn gubmint.
