I know it’s silly to even ask, but what is the constitutional argument for having taxes gathered from all 50 states go to benefit (boondoggle or not) the people of Nevada?

[Nick Danger]

Today I announced $50 for groceries at Sams Club. I also announced $45 for gasoline.

Once I get this "announcing" thing perfected, I'm going to announce several thousand for a cruise. I'll see how far that gets me.

Considering that it wasn’t that long ago that it was shown members of congress gain wealth at a much higher level than the average person, I just have to wonder how much of that bus company he might own?

[matt04]

Who will benefit to provide charging stations? GE?

[Hunton Peck]

Just what’s needed to help people get to cowboy poetry recitals.

That Harry — he thinks of everything.

1.5 mil for a bus. Man, you could get the best motorhome made for less than that. I bet the battery bank cost a million!

“Clean busses”? Try to avoid telling Harry where electricity comes from, you’ll hurt his feelings.

[True Republican Patriot]

ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS PER BUS!!!!!!! How much of that is Kickbacks, Corruption and Scimming?? What is the normal price of a Bus? and that of other known electric buses?? One can purchase a LuxuryTouring Coach for less than this nutty number!

[True Republican Patriot]

CORRECTION: ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS!!

[tongue-tied]

In my mind, this is more stupid pandering by Reid. Somehow, he must have some relative in electric charging stations or some other way to make himself look good.

As a Nevadan, I can darned sure say I would NOT have voted for this crap. (Nor did I vote for Reid by the way.)

[mdittmar]

I'm sure harry is getting some green for pushing green,he is also the host of National Clean Energy Summit 4.0: The Future of Energy August 30, 2011.

[ken5050]

Is this an earmark?

[dennisw]

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Don’t people need jobs to utilize these buses? Porkassbackwards as usual.

[Melchior]

I’ve searched everywhere to try and find who produces these busses. As no one want to fess up, I take it for granted that they are imports.

[Newtoidaho]

Were these made in Canada too?

[BAW]

And not a moment too soon - those cowboy poets need buses to get to their poetry readings. //sarc//

[True Republican Patriot]

Technically, they call it an earmark!
But actually it is Grand Theft!!
Why the heck are American Taxpayers picking up the tab for some freakin “Green Buses” for drunken Gamblers and Prostitutes in RENO, Nevada?
FIRE HARRY REID NOW!!!!
