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.
