He kept saying that Wyoming only got $1 billion out of $350 billion given out. I actually knew that meant Wyoming actually got more money per capita than it deserved but even I didn't know the true extent. I wish she would have pointed that out to him. Wyoming has a population of 579,000 while the US is 328,200,000 which means that about 1 out of every 566 Americans live in Wyoming, meaning that they deserved around $618 million not $1 billion.
