NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- In Tennessee, $269,000 was spent on a sanctuary for white squirrels. A Chevrolet Corvette simulator destined for a Kentucky museum cost $200,000. A Roman bath house in West Virginia was renovated for $160,000.

Believe it or not, a critical bill in the Senate was nearly brought to a standstill by a dispute over whether to fund projects like these.

These DC clowns still cannot make the right decisions, and tie pork to bills for their little pet projects.
They will never learn.

Sometimes it makes you wish for line item veto.....but that is a double edge sword.

I hear ya, but that is after the fact.

As long as the rabble of 535 are patting each other on the backside with these little side deals, we are doomed, Charlie Brown.

What is the point of a corvette simulator when you can buy a few corvettes for the same price.

And what IS a Corvette simulator?

I would rather spend money on 535 muppets - we could call them congressional simulators.
