Were dumping tons of money into it and really have nothing to show for it. The airlines have invested much less and have had a larger affect than our trusted government. Try checking the GAO public records division. You will find accounting and spending information on just about all publicly aware programs.

I would have to say first of all I think your question is a very,very good 1 but to answer it I would say the war which is probably what everyone would say but yes and the rise of Illegal Immigration that is taking over this country slowly, I believe that everyone should be treated fair and their shouldn't be no free passes for those that come over and go by doing it the illegal way. It costs you and I..

Simply put: pork barrel spending, you could write a novel on it and it would require little work in the way of research!
