Honestly,I'm amazed at the money thrown at some of this crap.
You are absolutely right; everyone needs to look over your much-appreciated link.

And an example: $3.7 billion for a new economic and community development program that consolidates 18 ineffective or duplicative programs into a flexible and targeted program.
Don't shut down ineffective pork; "consolidate" them and throw more money at them in a new program!
Who elected these idiotic parasites?
