Sen. Coburn: $7 Billion In Stimulus Waste

Comment: This is amazing! If we needed a stimulus bill to address the economic crisis, surely we could have done a better job than this. This nation has crumbling infrastructure. There are water lines that need replacing and collapsing sewer systems to replace and dangerous bridges to rebuild, yet the stimulus bill funded wasteful exotic studies and projects that created almost no jobs. One $246,436 project created a single $59,857 per year job. With a $1.4 trillion deficit is this the way we need to be spending money?
