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

Give me a break. I live in one of these 21 districts, so maybe I am just thinking of myself, but I'll be remembering the shrimp aquaculture every time I hit a pothole.

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