To much to spend, you just can’t make this stimulus stuff up.
Speaking of spending money unwisely, the stimulus bill adds another $850 million for Amtrak, the railroad that can’t turn a profit. There’s also $1.7 billion for “critical deferred maintenance needs” in the National Park System, and $55 million for the preservation of historic landmarks. Also, the U.S. Coast Guard needs $87 million for a polar icebreaking ship—maybe global warming isn’t working fast enough.

Thankfully the Senate Democrats don’t have enough votes for this pork laden, not to mention simply irresponsible bill.
