Check this out from 2000:
census.gov
California received the most federal funds of any state ($166 billion), followed by New York ($102 billion), Texas ($98 billion), Florida ($87 billion) and Pennsylvania ($69 billion).
Looks like NY sure received a lot. Funny thing is, another state received more. That state must be full of freeloaders and people looking for handouts, don't you think?
And how about this:
At the county or county-equivalent level, New York City, N.Y., led the list ($44.2 billion), followed by Los Angeles County, Calif. ($43.5 billion), Cook County, Ill. ($24.3 billion), San Diego County, Calif. ($17.9 billion), and Harris County, Texas ($14.0 billion).
New York City and Los Angeles County received the most federal funds of any local area, topping 41 states; however, on a per capita basis, they ranked 769 and 1,653, respectively, among the 3,137 counties or county-equivalent
areas.
How about that, San Diego County California in the top 5. Must be a bunch of freeloaders there, huh? Probably every single person who lives there, wouldn't you think? |
