Some of the projects that were funded in the bill:
$300,000 to save the Pennsylvania home of politician Frederick Augustus Muhlenberg
$1.5 million to establish an archive for Dick Gephardt
$443,000 for research to develop "baby food containing salmon"
$4 million for "shrimp aquaculture"
$133,000 for maple research in Vermont
$500,000 for a history museum in Waterloo, Iowa
$500,000 for the NY Botanical Garden
$3 million for research on the genetics of grapes

Your representative chose to prioritize Amtrak over roads. Think about that every time you hit a pothole.
