Now Come On...No One Plays Favorites...Do They?

A REALLY interesting report was just released from The Mercatus Center at George Mason University where they took a little "looksie" at our stimulus tax dollars at work...

"Democratic districts have received nearly twice as much stimulus money as Republican districts and the cash has been awarded without regard to how badly an area was suffering from job losses, according to a new study."

So...I'm thinking...well, DUH! Most of the blue districts have a lower economic status. My 8 year old could have come to the same conclusion!

Til I got to the last two lines of the article...

"Oddly, the Mercatus study found far more stimulus money went to higher-income areas than lower-income areas.

"We found no correlation between economic indicators and stimulus funding. Preliminary results find no effect of unemployment, median income, or mean income on stimulus funds allocation," the report said."

Now, it's true...I only worked in stat research for about three years...but this shouldn't have happened STATISTICALLY, right? Yet, it did.
