Here are 30 pages of Congressional funding requests from my Senator's website. Bedtime reading material, unless it makes you so mad you can't get to sleep. :mad:

Millions of dollars going to numerous corporations, many of them for military expenditures. Many of them obviously written to please the liberal senator.

Look at this from Eaton Corporation:

"Developing a retrofitable, military-purpose series hybrid hydraulic system will create immediate military value by providing 60% fuel economy improvements over a base vehicle and reduce the hybrid system weight and volume by 50%"

WOW! 60% better fuel economy for our military to invade even more countries. They didn't mention the reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

If I were Senator, it would be a consistent NO, NO, NO. How many of these requests are from insider construction companies who need to keep improving roads that are probably adequate as they are?

What will all these porkies going to do when there is a tax revolt?
