[QUOTE=nmap]Congressional representatives have done the same thing for decades - often for much greater sums. Sadly, this is nothing new.
What is new is the amount of "pork" these days. The number of ear-marks keep growing and what do they say..... "It is nothing compared to the overall budget"..... and the basis for the pork is not to do something good, it is to get reelected!
