my you are busy this evening Chi.
I agree with you.. pointless, wasteful pork barrel projects.
I do take a bit of exception that you are portraying this as if republicans are the only ones doing it. You know better than that.

How long was the railroad track?
Did you know, that railroad track (unsignaled) costs $1 million to build per mile? That includes materials, real estate cost, man hours, and equipment. Not to mention power for that equipment. And thats unsignaled.
If the railroad track is signaled, its another million per mile.
From the center of the track, the railroad owns the land stretching 25 feet in either direction. If he was moving a 30 mile stretch of track 30 feet inland, then the railroad had to buy that coastal land at its full cost, because they didn't own it already. Then they have much more to do.
Yes, republican spending is terrible. But make sure you know what you are talkng about before you ask.

Because he could by virtue of being a member of the new nobility that we citizens have allowed to take hold and grow in Washington.
We deserve what we voted for; just watch what the tax and spend liberals do now.
For example, where is the influence peddling bill the Dems promised? Nowhere is sight; same ole', same ole'.

Yes, totally believe it. Why did they move it? Cho Cho's have a very hard time running under water.

Global warming is raising the water line and the rail road was going to be floating-actually wouldn't float and would wash away. Also he needed a part time job.

Ask the King of Pork the same question. KKK Byrd has appropriated money to build roads that go nowhere and other pork projects than any other member of congress. Why aren't you asking him this?

communicate radio took the immigration invoice, and reform, as their toddler a mutually as in the past. it is the only reason such countless people responded to the invoice by contacting their representatives. Now, i'm no longer asserting the invoice is stable, undesirable, or in between. only that with out the communicate radio conservatives, the yank public, regrettably, might in no way had observed. Broadcasters of the political persuasion now have super means. it extremely is a shame, for, we choose a right away communicate with our representatives, with our government, no longer siphoned with the aid of demagogues extra effectual suitable to careers in propaganda in countries in the previous i might fairly no longer point out.
