Million dollar, that's a lot of money, $800 million is even more. Usually when a project is dropped, the Congress needs time to study them , and depending on how valuable the project may be, you would get that amount of money from the government ( our money ). But on the week of Dec. 19th 2007, 298 projects costing $800 million, were dropped in at the last minute, leaving Congress virtually no time to study them , so as a result they gave away money to support the causes of what ever the project might be about.
So just how important this projects are, that cost so much of our hard working money?
A bridge was asked to be made in Nowhere, Alaska connecting an island: Population 80 people.
Another one would be, " $853,000 earmark for coffee and cocoa production in Maryland."
Some homeland securities projects were only identified as locations of the cities, such as:" St. Joseph, Mo. gets $1 million. Detroit gets $1.6 million" but for what????Congress failed to ask, may be they should ask, hows our money being used, instead of finding new ways to tax us.
