Three states got 66% of bailout money, five states got 84%. How badly did your state get screwed?

Can’t wait to hear the Obama administration explain this: the top three states took home 66% of bailout dollars and the top five nearly 84% of the total, which leaves a paltry 15% to be divvied up between the remaining 45 states and territories.

Can’t wait to hear the Obama administration explain why the bailout is overwhelmingly concentrated in a small handful of states.

According to the ProPublica data, a total of $476.5 billion in bailout money has been doled out so far. New York, has garnered $175 billion, more than one third of the total. Michigan walked off with $80.7 billion, North Carolina netted $56.3 billion, Virginia totaled $54.9 billion, and California picked up $34.4 billion.

(Our thanks for thesaurus.com for the assistance with the previous paragraph).

That means the top three states took home 66% of bailout dollars and the top five nearly 84% of the total, which leaves a paltry 15% to be divvied up between the remaining 45 states and territories.

That should be just enough for a road sign in your neighborhood that says, “This construction project paid for by The Greatest President In History and the generous benefactors of the Democrat-controlled Congress of the United States.”

No construction projects, mind you, but some very nice signs.
