Did you know that you can easily see how federal assistance/grant dollars are allocated by state? Check out http://www.fedspending.org. The website has a searchable listing of federal government expenditures. It uses information from the government database.

Note: This week they had to update their database because they were notified that apx. 30,000 individual social security numbers were posted on this site.
