Here are some examples of the spending in George Dubya's new 820 billion dollar bill:
-$50,000,000 to build an indoor rainforest in Iowa.
dear mr. bush,
why not spend that money to conserve the rainforests we already have?
sincerely,
a concerned citizen
-$2,000,000 for the First Tee Program, to get young people into golf.
-$405,000 for industrial lubricants research in Iowa.
-$338,000 for the Alabama Beef Connection.
how do they need money?
-$225,000 for the National Wild Turkey federation, a hunting concern.
-$4,000,000 for the International Fertilizer Development Center.
-$595,000,000 for Trilogy, an FBI information technology program.
-$397,700,000 for prison buildings and facilities.
i have a feeling that if our president (among others) stops contributing to the poverty levels and tax cuts on education we might not need this. seems like he might just put all this money towards lethel injections or prisons used to house deported ex-citizens of our great country
-$6,000,000 for a Police Athletic League.
-$30,000,000 for the Southwest Border Prosecutors Initiative.
-$7,105,000 for construction of an international narcotics control
law enforcement academy in Roswell, NM.
-Up to $120,000,000 for a classified Defense Department project.
-$250,000 for the General Patton Museum of Cavalry & Armor, in
Kentucky.
-$225,000 for a shopping center in Adelanto, CA.
-$500,000 for the "Exercise in Hard Choices" at the U. of Akron, which attempts to replicate House and Senate meetings in which
congressional members review a budget, and vote to include or exclude various options.
god. i hate our president. another part of the bill includes Bush's attempt to roll back overtime protections for 8 million hardworking families.
