Buried Deep Inside H.R. 1…
You know what would really save the economy? Frisbee golf.
There are plenty of suggestions for bridge repairs, road paving projects, new buses, trolley, garbage trucks and school improvements on the list.
But there is also $886,000 to build a 36-hole “disk-golf” course — think Frisbee throwing meets golf — in Austin, Texas, and $33,725 for automatically flushing toilets in Sumter, S.C. And don’t forget the $1.4 million children’s water park requested by Pine Bluff, Ark., and the $500,000 that Chula Vista, Calif., wants for a dog park.

For those of you who don’t know what an earmark looks like.

Yeah, but we really need that disc golf course here. There are only 3 in the area and that is unacceptable.
Contrary to the misleading title “Buried Deep Inside HR-1″, these things are not in HR-1. There’s enough pork in it to feed Americans for years, but these are not there. They were simply suggestions in part by the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
