But NOOOOOOOO, let's fund that (unwanted) dam on some godforsaken

The list of pork in a recent Reader's Digest was sickening (if true). Statue renovation, fairgrounds, local museums, etc.

Reagan tried to reduce pork by asking for line-item veto power. However, it was turned down as unconsitutional. Thus, one must take the package all-or-nothing; which means PORK.

In other news, some are blaming Greenspan for economic problems:

I especially like their timeline:

1990-1991 - Recession

1991-1992 - Jobless Recovery

Nov. 1992 - Pres. Bush joins ranks of unemployed

Like father like son..... (regardless of actual fault)
