Ready for a New Pork Project to Attack?
Now that the Bridge to Nowhere has collapsed (although not completely), are you ready for a new pork project to attack? Consider this -- the Army Corps of Engineers is, in large part, to blame for the levees breaking down in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Now, thanks to Republican Senator Thad Cochran, part of the funds being used to help pay for Katrina relief -- approx. $13 million -- will be used to build a museum celebrating the Army Corps of Engineers! Let's repeat that. Part of the money being used to fix the levees will be used to celebrate the government's inability to build levees that don't break. Only the federal government has the bureaucracy and arrogance to spend so much money on such an asinine project. Here's a CNN video (Windows Media) that goes into more detail. HT: Virginia Grace
