Raw data over here. It's tempting to start looking to see if there's a red/blue correlation over time. I'd also like to see how the federal tax dollars break down within each state. I suspect areas with relatively high defense spending concentrations (like New Mexico and Hawaii) or Bureau of Indian Affairs spending (like New Mexico and Hawaii) come out a little skewed.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
