You might want to take a look at cost of living. This is yet another time that by not accounting for it when setting mandatory government wages on projects (ie road construction) that you end up with a mess.
If the average wage is higher in the northeast due to higher cost of living, then without a cost of living adjustment to federal wages, you are paying higher "dollars" in taxes. If the Federal government then allots "x" dollars per mile of highway reconstruction regardless of what state said construction is taking place in then you will naturally have an imbalance in tax input vs. output per state. It will favor the states where cost of living is lower and do a disservice to the states with higher costs of living.
and federal dollar ratios have nothing to do with whether or not their are fat fucks in the northeast or upper midwest.

SWEET. I get to agree with you once today.
San Diego and San Fran are much better than LA. IF you have to be headed to Cali that is.

Wrongo oh self proclaimed finiancial whiz. KY had both a northern state and a southern state capitol during the war.
and on many maps we are not listed in southern or midwestern states....

On that I agree. The food production and energy production are found in greater quantitiy in the south than in the northeast.

Personally I think we should just cut you ALL off at the Mississippi and split the country that way. Then the old North and South can duke it out again while we sit back and laugh.

SF your self-reports get shorter and broader every day! 
A week or so ago there was a map published of the US showing a state-by-state comparison of average overweight percentages. The map changed over three decades, I think. It was pretty startling to look at how obesity spread.
I couldn't find it today. Here's a map you've probably all seen already, but it's current.

One article from the UK suggested that our lifestyle is the main culprit; I think that there are many contributors. Some are obvious and others might be surprising. The map tells its tale.
