More interesting is that the number of beneficiaries is 30 states, exactly the number needed to break a filibuster. It would be interesting to go through history and find out if in general the number of beneficiaries has normally been the number needed to break a filibuster in the Senate, and if Senators vote for or against a budget according to whether their state is a recipient or donor.
