Ooops... I forgot to add a legend. So I will just attach a quote from czar when I first posted this table in May:
Well, isn't this just too, too, precious? And so here we have buckets of slop for the anti-American reconquista slime at La Raza, all listed as no budget request (NBR) items added in conference (C) to cover the tracks of the particular Washington crapweasel getting it in the bill at conference. No name-no blame, right? And, for FY 2006, another $5M for these bums.

And what delicious irony. While our military is fighting the same kind of anti-American scum in the middle east, the traitors in Washington are busy raiding the appropriations for the VA (Veterans Administration). I'm sure our military guys would be thrilled to know military budgets are challenged at every step, but earmarks for La Raza sail right on through. I would love to out the specific traitor (s) who, every year, run this little con game for La Raza. There will be a special place reserved in hell for these swine. I would very much like to find their names.

Thanks for posting this. I wish we could do something about this govt. waste. From todays article it looks like the Democrats and Republicans have increased this to $15 million a year. Disgraceful.

And all of a sudden in 2005 they get $15.2 million after getting fairly nominal sums since 2000?

You are hot on the trail of thieves darlin' girl. Now the trick is to prosecute them. Realistically treason would be difficult but missappropriation of public funds should be a no-brainer.

All we need now is a few honest politicians and a patriotic prosecutor. You youngsters should find this doable. Try Ann Coulter she talks a fine battle.
