Book Description
The federal government wastes your tax dollars worse than a drunken sailor on shore leave. The 1984 Grace Commission uncovered that the Department of Defense spent $640 for a toilet seat and $436 for a hammer. Twenty years later things weren't much better. In 2004, Congress spent a record-breaking $22.9 billion dollars of your money on 10,656 of their pork-barrel projects. The war on terror has a lot to do with the record $413 billion in deficit spending, but it's also the result of pork over the last 18 years the likes of: - $50 million for an indoor rain forest in Iowa - $102 million to study screwworms which were long ago eradicated from American soil - $273,000 to combat goth culture in Missouri - $2.2 million to renovate the North Pole (Lucky for Santa!) - $50,000 for a tattoo removal program in California - $1 million for ornamental fish research Funny in some instances and jaw-droppingly stupid and wasteful in others, The Pig Book proves one thing about Capitol Hill: pork is king!

Army Corps of Engineers
Author: Denise M. Fantone
Publisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 1437931731
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is the world's largest public engineering, design, and construction management agency. In FY 2006 it began incorporating performance information into its budget process, but Congress raised concerns that the criteria used by the Corps to prioritize projects are not transparent and the budget formulation process could achieve a higher return on investment. This report: (1) describes the information the Corps uses in its budget formulation process and the implications of the process; and (2) evaluates whether the President's recent budget requests for the Corps are presented so that agency priorities are clear and proposed use of funds transparent. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
