Maybe with the debt approaching 17 trillion they felt like we couldn't afford to give away the billions in subsidies, entitlements and freebies on this list. The Reinvestment Act tore up a trillion dollar bill all by itself. But, aside from that farce, which saw the inception of crony capitalism, the list reads like a who's who of pork barrel spending. Everything from green golf carts to the millions wasted to date by this administration on the green agenda. It means nothing to this administration to toss billions of dollars around. Or take 100 million dollar vacations.
