The more we learn about the Stimulus Bill and where the money is going, the more disgusted I get. Representative Larry Kissell and all the other yahoos who praise this boondoggle should be ashamed of themselves.
Here is a list compiled by Civitas of the top ten most egregious programs that have wasted taxpayers money:
1) Study of Monkeys using cocaine $71,623
2) N.C. Dance Theater $50,000
3) Reducing hot flashes thru yoga $147,694
4) Collecting, researching, and reporting on stimulus (propaganda) $492,940
5) Create interactive dance performance technology $762,372
6) American Dance Festival $50,000
7) Construction of a new town hall in Bladenboro $300,000
8) N.C. Folk Life Institute $25,000
9) Preservation of an insect collection at N.C. State $253,123
10) Greensboro Symphony Orchestra $50,000 -- no doubt Senator Kay Hagan had a hand in this one.
This is absolutely outrageous. Do these people have no shame?
