"After a flurry of stimulus spending, questionable projects pile up" [View All]

[Obamanaut]

Some of these projects are listed here, many more at the link. I really don't care if someone jumps off a bridge, or whether or not rabbit shit is radioactive. It just seems, imho, that there is a lot of waste and abuse of taxpayer money here - not unlike the pork projects (earmarks) that get stuck on most bills coming out of congress.

- $11 million for Microsoft to build a bridge connecting its two headquarter campuses in Redmond, Wash., which are separated by a highway.

- $300,000 for a GPS-equipped helicopter to hunt for radioactive rabbit droppings at the Hanford nuclear reservation in Washington state.

$300 apiece for thousands of signs at road construction sites across the country announcing that the projects are funded by stimulus money.

$1.5 million for a fence to block would-be jumpers from leaping off the All-American Bridge in Akron, Ohio.
