I think there were plenty of projects, that may have some merit to them, but didn't belong anywhere near a stimulus package that was produced recently. The Dems share the blunt of the criticism for this, but the GOP is no angel in this process either. Both have produced several ridiculous things, just to get a piece of a giant pie for selfish reasons.
