Funny thing is that just about any government
action is a redistribution of wealth. Money goes
into improvement projects, bringing more jobs
to an area, and driving up the wages. How is this
different from just giving people money? NY state
was a big loser in the federal handout scheme, but
people from the states which netted the most would
always complain about how it was a drain on the nation.
States with huge military bases, or boondoggles, but
a lower cost of living.
