I often look at statistics regarding federal-state relations, and the numbers sometimes vary in ways that aren't obvious until you really dig into things. In this case, given the way the reports I read cited and used this figure, I took it to mean the total of federal dollars that are allocated based--at least to some degree if not entirely--on state population. Federal formulas for different programs vary widely, and sometimes population is just one factor among many in the equation. I think, again, that this figure represents anything for which population has a role. Missing then would be the funding based solely on individuals having a certain status or qualification, or for a purpose not related to or based on population.<br /><br />The bottom line is that the lower population of the state will matter in some substantial way for federal funding. Of course, since we have less people than we used to have (in comparison with other states), you could say that it's fair that we get less money, when population is an appropriate part of the equation.<br /><br />Since I wrote this post I've also heard people make the point that if earmarks return to common usage in Congress, then having two less congressional seats will cost us there too.Grant Reeherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726562998867777963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381332447092383232.post-88487566834821354872010-12-23T23:00:39.403-05:002010-12-23T23:00:39.403-05:00When you mentioned the $4 trillion dollar figure, ...When you mentioned the $4 trillion dollar figure, was that referring to all federal aid to the states expected over the next decade, or some specific portion of that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
