Whither the Bailout?

ProPublica has an interactive US map of the recipients of bank bailout funds:



On this map, "Each marker represents the headquarters of a financial institution that expects or has already received money from the Treasury Department under the TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program). The size of each marker represents the amount of bailout money given to each institution." You can click on ProPublica's map to see the identities and amounts received for each institution.

They also have amounts received listed by state (and state-like, albeit less than fully represented despite being taxed, entities). The top ten are:

1. New York - $175 billion
2. Michigan - $80.7 (with most of that going to General Motors)
3. North Carolina - $56.3
4. Virginia - $54.9
5. District of Columbia - $44.9
6. California - $34.4
7. It drops off a bit here with Pennsylvania, at $11.3
8. Ohio - $8.1
9. Minnesota - $7.2
10. Georgia - $6.3

Bailed out institutions run the gamut from such big-city cauldrons of decadence and perfidy as AIG ($70 billion) to wholesome mom-and-pop operations like Festus, MO's Midwest Regional Bancorp (on the hook for a trifling 700 grand).

  2. I suspect that if you compared a map of where murders are committed to your lock-up maps, you'd find the correlation, since the commission of other crimes is the driver of the murder number (i.e. more assaults and rapes leads to more murders; more armed robbeBest Racing Car

  17. So, in recent scholarly work, the EU is now called one of the "influential political entities" in the Arctic (Koivurova 2010, 152), which means it is increasingly seen as an equal Arctic actor alongside the traditional Arctic states. With its official documents (see below), the EU is said to have taken Arctic policy out of the inner circle of littoral states and into the international arena (cf. Braune 2009, 39). But it's important to remember that from a legal standpoint, the EU is not a part of most of the Arctic states. EU law only applies to three of the eight Arctic states, Research paper writing services USA and in the case of Denmark, it doesn't even apply to Greenland (Neumann 2010, 12). So, Anje Neumann (2010, 12) says that this fact "distinguishes" the Arctic region because Arctic resources could help improve the EU's energy and raw material supply security. But these arguments would mostly be based on the idea that the EU's policy goals and how they are actually carried out do not match up with what people want. But if you think about it, you have to admit that this is pretty typical of the European Union, and not just in the environmental field. One only has to look at the goals the EU set for itself in the Lisbon Agenda to become the most competitive and knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010.
