Happy Birthday to Me!
I’m working on trying to get an earmark for myself in the farm bill!
In the meantime, I commend to you Dr. Barry Poulson’s great column on an outrageous earmark for Nevada, Lake Wobegon West:
Tucked into the farm bill winding its way through Congress is a $175 million earmark to build a lake in the middle of the Nevada desert. Nevada should name this “’Lake Wobegon West’ and use ‘Surf Nevada’ to promote tourism. This lake could replace the ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ in Alaska as the poster child for wasteful federal spending.
