For those of us who opposed EVERY SINGLE DIME appropriated for corporate bailouts and the so called "stimulus plan" this comes as no surprise. None at all. It was a "Pork Festival" from the very start.
Still, the people who have authorized many of these projects should be in prison.

Those don't bother quite as bad as some others I've read about. But I agree, ill conceived and executed worse.
OK, "esplain" what you have against studying the deadly pollen in Iceland? You need to have a global view.Quote:

Around here they are going to convert an old rail bed into a bike path with some of the money. It pisses me off! They say it will create jobs. IMO not long term jobs. There is a bridge that has been deemed not safe for trains. These geniuses think if it can't hold a train then it can't hold a bike either. So, for an extra 3 million we get a bike bridge.
Hey!... I live near gillette stadium!!... Geesh, do u have any idea what games do to traffic in a 10 mile radius?....
Seriously... A footbridge will create a few construction job.. But for the long-term I only see it lining Kraft's already fat pockets.... Theses wastes of money are sad!... Even sadder is that most people don't even seem to care....
That's a great Bass Pro Shop there.......... :)Quote:

The map was created in January so I don't what the difference is between what they were supposed to receive and what they actually received.
