I'd like to know if more fine-grained data on population density is available. Congressional districts have a very broad array of population densities within them. I'd love to have access to density information at the voting pre

I suppose the real answer is to just use Excel. The last time I used Google's spreadsheet was probably about 2 to 3 years ago and there were major deficiencies then. I used the spreadsheet in Open Office/Libre Office for awhile.

The article uses a different definition of the word "subsidy" than I would. Specifically, I would hardly call $350 in Retirement Fund Bank Fees a "subsidy". Checking the references, I also don't see how the 1268 in
