The Woodstock museum is a shining example of what’s wrong with Washington on pork-barrel, out-of-control spending

Let me see - Clinton and Schumer both think they needed to spend $1,000,000.00 to honor and celebrate a 3-day 60's era drug fest for hippies conducting potentially deadly drug-induced sexual assaults. Aside from the fact that the end result left Max's farm an ecological disaster zone of trash, mud, clothing, and debris, the only positive thing to emerge from the 3-day event was some great music and the introduction of some new and outstanding rock groups.

Why all Americans need to fund a pet project in New York, or any of the pork-barrel projects the Congress tries to slip into spending bills defies explanation. The greatest insult is that this was attached to a health funding bill. Woodstock was noted for the illnesses, bad drugs and shared needles. Do we really need a museum to commemorate that?

Links? As I recall there were no assaults reported according to the NY State Police.

Mud? On a farm? I bet that started Global Warming!!! /s

All kinds of Americans went there & if we don't have to PAY a dime of taxpayer money I really don't see why it shouldn't be built. It might bring in money where its needed. As YOU pointed out....the only positive thing to emerge from the 3-day event was some great music and the introduction of some new and outstanding rock groups.

So since the above is true why not let someone build it & people can go & see what it was like. I've been up that way & saw where it was. It might create jobs & money for those people.
