[Naspino]

Someone adding it up?

[Wheee The People]

$725,000 Please Touch Museum, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Oh come on. Clinton isn't sponsoring this is he?

[Abram]

I get so sick when I see what public money is going for...an amusement park???? Since when does an amusement park get public monies...This can be used to scare widows that their hard-earned dollars, especially for people on fixed incomes, are going to support theme parks. That is sick...

[RiflemanSharpe]

This is insane!!!!!!

[Naspino]

I copied into EXCEL and got $69,101,000 as the total.

[Naspino]

How about 500,000 for a bike path or 150,000 for a single traffic light!?! What does the bike path go through solid rock and is the traffic light the tallest one in the world?

[.cnI redruM]

That's what next month's VISA bill is for. In the meanwhile, Merry Porkmas!

[T Minus Four]

What the cat hair is a "Karnal bunt"?

[PeaceBeWithYou]

Three Words - LINE ITEM VETO!

Too bad the toon screwed that up.

I doubt it will be back anytime soon.

Any other ideas?

[Viva Le Dissention]

alas, but it is unconstitutional. C'est la vie.

[Protagoras]

Bi partisian plunder.

[OXENinFLA]

The list is getting bigger.

[OXENinFLA]

$5,000,000 Project SOCRATES

[.cnI redruM]

If I were Pres. for a day. I'd use it anyway and challenge them to impeach me for saving the taxpayers money.

"150,000 for a single traffic light

Its astonishing what a traffic light costs. This little town paid $150,000 for one. My own town just paid $38,000 for 1/3 the cost of a three way traffic light at the intersection of a local street and a state highway. The state paid the other 2/3's. That come to $114,000, and that one only looks three ways. I'd guess a 4 way stop is more.

[Viva Le Dissention]

So what other provisions of the constitution do you find inconvenient enough to ignore?

[DennisR]

In a $1.2 TRILLION budget (I think this is right), $69 million is a mere pittance.
