After a flurry of stimulus spending, questionable projects pile up
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/po...-68709732.html
The $787 billion stimulus bill was passed in February and was promised as a job saver and economy booster. Here is where some of the money went:
Here's just a few, see the link above:
- $11 million for Microsoft to build a bridge connecting its two headquarter campuses in Redmond, Wash., which are separated by a highway.
- $430,000 to repair a bridge in Iowa County, Wis., that carries 10 or fewer cars per day.
- $2.5 million in stimulus checks sent to the deceased.
- $300 apiece for thousands of signs at road construction sites across the country announcing that the projects are funded by stimulus money.
DRUM ROLL PLEASE:
- $300,000 for a GPS-equipped helicopter to hunt for radioactive rabbit droppings at the Hanford nuclear reservation in Washington state.

If they are willing to spend $300,000 to look for radioactive rabbit poop, what else may be radioactive in that area?
