    More than $200 billion would go to states, enough to offset $100 billion in projected budget shortfalls they now face in the next two years... The money could spare states from politically painful program cuts, tax increases or both. Two-thirds of the federal money is aimed directly at states' biggest spending items: education, health care and roads.

    There is an interactive map here:

    It shows how much each individual state stands to get from the stimulus plan.

    I get a feeling that Chicago and other near cities will get first pops.
