Pigs in a Blanket

In a classmate's blog "Bacon Anyone?," I thought that the article was a great explanation of what our elected officials are doing to help out Americans. Funny thing is - they're not. They're helping out "Austinites," "San Antonians," and "Houstonians." I'm curious about why the country spending billions of dollars on things that don't practically matter, and not enough on debt, inflation, or what not. Hey, another stimulus?! I'm in... I agree with Blake that there is far too much expenditures going towards building bridges to nowhere, and rural road widenings rather than federal disaster aid, and things that truly matter to people.
