I'm sure there were more. Those were just the earmarks from the main appropriations bills for the year in question.

Note that all of the dollars were marked NBR (no budget request) and "C" (items added in conference). No paper trail for who requested the funding. Sweet, huh?

Our government has become totally unaccountable.

Yeah, I gues that if you lived in Moscow 30 years ago, and were under the tutelage and thumb of Breznev and the Politboro, it would be sweet : )
