$100 for every US citizen

$29 Billlion. That's how much Congress approved this year for their 'pork projects'. Projects of little importance to anyone other than the people they provide jobs for.

Examples include: a "bridge to nowhere," a $223 million project connecting Alaska's Gravina Island — population 50 — to the mainland, and a $1 million water-free urinal conservation initiative.

Which proves that Congress has no problem pissing away our money.
