That is the per-capita ratio of Spendulus funds between Obama counties and McCain counties:
Billions of dollars in federal aid delivered directly to the local level to help revive the economy have gone overwhelmingly to places that supported President Obama in last year’s presidential election.
That aid — about $17 billion — is the first piece of the administration’s massive stimulus package that can be tracked locally. Much of it has followed a well-worn path to places that regularly collect a bigger share of federal grants and contracts, guided by formulas that have been in place for decades and leave little room for manipulation…
…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.
“Little room” doesn’t, of course, mean “no room” – and that leaves out the fact of pre-manipulation done over the years to ensure that government funds go heavily to liberal, Democrat areas of the country because that, dear friends, is how liberals get and retain power – by using our tax dollars to buy votes.
Be that as it may, the fact that the funds are going to Obama areas indicates the raw, disgusting truth of the matter…Democrats have diligently created a large class of people dependent upon government and this ensures them, right out the gate, 40% or so of the votes in national elections. These people voted Obama not so much for “hope and change” (that worked with the independents who were just amazingly turned off by McCain) but for “welfare State as usual”. A large portion of Americans have been turned in to government dependents and they simply will not bite the hand which feeds them – and the key to understanding Obama’s massive expansion of government is that he hopes to get 50% or more of the voters permanently dependent upon government for their economic well-being…do that, and liberalism has a permanent majority, and thus the time to sculpt our nation into what liberals wish it were…a duplicate of France, or Canada (as an aside, liberals, when you keep harping on how much of GDP is coming out of blue areas and thus how you are supporting us rednecks…a very large portion of your GDP is government spending…cut you off from that, and you dry up and blow away…unless, that is, you sip a few less lattes and start making, mining and growing things).
Its going to be hard and its going to be a near run thing, if we can even pull it off – by working hard and putting ourselves on the line, we have to accrue enough power to our side to first stop Obamunism in its tracks before it subverts a majority, and then roll it back and return to the values of hard work and self sacrifice which made this nation great.
