Stimulating D.C.

From a Michael Barone piece on U.S. population-movement patterns since 2010:

The 2013-14 numbers just released, for example, show interesting contrasts with those of 2010-11, when the economy was flagging and stimulus money disbursed. Back then the Washington metropolitan area — Virginia, Maryland, D.C. — was growing well above the national average. Now, with the sequester cuts, growth in the region is below average.

Is that what Keynesian stimulus amounts to? Congress authorizes a bunch of spending, but little of it makes it more than a few miles from D.C.?

The rest of the article is interesting, too, on the subject of which states get or lose international or domestic net immigration, and why.
