money from the country (via the Federal government) in 2008. Lets take the money from Bunning's state. He's the only one taking this postion. He should volunteer his states grants from the Federal Government.

Also, I think Bunning should have a few town hall meetings with people (especially in those states with the worst unemployment) so he can explain his position to the people....sort of like the Health Care Reform meetings. ....oh, and mr. Bunning, no you can't bring the National Guard with you.

1. Not to mention that Kentucky got back $1.51 in federal spending for every $1 paid to feds (2005)

2. Ranking no. 9 in the country! Thanks good site!! This means that over the years Kentucky has

benefited from the rest of the country roughly a couple hundred billion dollars in the last decade.
