Nothing illegal... yeah pork barrel politics for projects favored in certain states... waste is in the eye of the beholder... not applicable to the title of the Bill... sure... but nothing new... line item veto was able to derail some of this, but Sup Ct said it was unconstitutional and both sides do this. Question, and I haven't looked it up... is this an authorizing bill or an appropriations bill. If authorizing... than it just means that the feds are allowed to spend the money... but if no money is appropriated it is DOA. Lots of things get in authorizing bills that are never allocated because no money is appropriated for it... just saying.
