All pork projects contained in the highway bill must be terminated immediately.
The reason that I say this is because the government can no longer afford them. Congress and the Administration have gone TOO FAR with the pork.
The proof is the fact that the Department of Transportation is projecting that they will be out of money before the bill expires. They are proposing a tax on all hybrid cars to keep the agency afloat until a new transportation bill is passed next year.
Unacceptable!
Get rid of all the pork in the current highway bill (that President Bush signed four months ago) immediately! And don't stop with the Bridges to Nowhere project in Alaska either.
And if any member of Congress threatens to resign over the pork cuts, LET THEM! Good riddance.
Taxpayers should not be made to pay twice to support the pork in this bill!
Here's a story on the pork itself.
Here's the story on the hybrid tax.
Oink!! Oink!!
