On Wednesday, the US House of Representatives gave final passage to a spending bill which added $9000 for in new national debt for each US citizen. It was intended to "stimulate" the economy. But like most things in this Congress the details do not conform to the reality.
Included among the 5000 earmarks was $100,000 for the Jamestown library. Unfortunately, the city of Jamestown, S.C., which asked for the dough (actually only half of that) did not get it. (Jamestown, S.C. is a dandy little town of 97 people - so the beneficence of Congress was offering the equivalent of one computer for each person in town. But the great wonders of drunken Congressmen (they must have been drunk to do something like this) offered the boodle to Jamestown, California. (population 2100). The one in South Carolina is the one near Winona.
Aren't you proud of these bozos. I say vote the rascals out and let the residents of both Jamestowns buy their own computers.
