OK, I'll trade you my land-locked army base for Camp Pendleton and its beaches. I'll keep the Cherokees and give you the sandbags and Table Rock Lake for Lake Tahoe. At any rate, I think Snowshoe hit on it. The thing that really skews those numbers you and Allen throw out is the difference in population from one state to the next. Like Alaska, Arkansas is a low population state that also has several federally maintained projects in it. Now that I've thought about it, I think most of ours have to do with water management of some kind. And not just to benefit Arkansans (or support them as you claim). Federal management of the rivers benefits the whole midsection of the country. And the huge watershed where I live (the Ozarks) was dammed up and turned into a string of three huge lakes plus a fourth across the border in OK, all of which provide water to OK, KS, MO, and Arkansas.
