Breaking News: Republicans are Conservatives? Majority-of-clowns leader Tom DeLay recently stated that our government was running efficiently, declaring an "ongoing victory" for Republicans and saying that nothing more could be cut from the budget. Way to go, small government! Apparently a $223 million bridge from nowhere to nowhere does not qualify as the kind of wasteful, corrupt pork that Republicans might want to cut from budgets. Add to that another odd $700 million or so in assorted pork from the same representative, and you have $941 billion of wasteful, corrupt spending. Just in case you are skimming, that's $941 million, as in almost a billion dollars. And the bridge is useless. This also only part of $10.7 billion of wasteful pork in the highway bill. Now don't you ever say the government is a bunch of criminals... they're serving the good of the people, right? I'd rather have the mafia in charge -- they don't build big worthless bridges, and they kill fewer people than the corrupt sacks in D.C.
