Budget Nonsense Redux

The leading minds of Congress have come up with a way to reduce the budget. Eliminate the funding for the bridge to nowhere - only that idiotic expenditure that would cost the equivalent of buying a lear jet for every citizen who would benefit from it. So far so good. But remember this is Congress. The next step is to keep the funding in and direct it to Alaska. The net result - appropriations keep the same. The problem of "projects" (what members are calling set asides because they think we are wise to the negative sides of the set asides term) is not helped in even a little sense. Only Congress could think this was a solution.
