Senator John McCain Tweets Top Ten Pork Projects in Omnibus Spending Bill
Posted by Flap in Barack Obama, John McCain
Here is GOP Senator John McCain’s list of the top ten porkiest projects in the Omnibus Spending Bill.
- $1.7 million for pig odor research in Iowa
- $2 million “for the promotion of astronomy†in Hawaii – because nothing says new jobs for average Americans like investing in astronomy
- $332,000 for the design and construction of a school sidewalk in Franklin, Texas – not enough $ for schools in the stimulus?
- $2.1 million for the Center for Grape Genetics in New York – quick peel me a grape.
- $650,000 for beaver management in North Carolina and Mississippi
- $1 million for mormon cricket control in Utah – is that the species of cricket or a game played by the brits?
- $300,000 for the Montana World Trade Center – enough said
- $200,000 “tattoo removal violence outreach program to could help gang members or others shed visible signs of their past” REALLY?
- $475,000 to build a parking garage in Provo City, Utah
- $1.7M “for a honey bee factory” in Weslaco, TX
Tax and spend = Obama Administration and his Democrat cronies in Congress.
The next time you purchase a gallon of gas or see your paycheck with its witholds of payroll taxes remember all of those tattoos you are helping remove.
How ridiculous is this?
