Busy minds with the nickle and dime stuff while not questioning the "Missile Defense Peogram", "The DDX", "F/A-22" etc. the big ticket items. Lets see $5.5 Million for Walter Reed new Cafeteria or Programs for wounded veterans what the big deal. I think wounded soldiers also eat. How about that $475Million "Bonus" to Boeing (yes I know $109 million was with held, for now) for the Missile Defense Test Program that HAS FAILED all but one of it's tests (?). I would rather see $5.5 Million for a few new Yougurt Machines and a quick Pizza serving line that serves the wounded back from the war zones the $475 Million for Boeing stock holders and management. As usual it's just some smoke and mirrors, where have you gone Randy "Duke" Cunningham. To paraphrase Simon and Garfunkle. ALLONS, Byron Skinner Good Morning Folks,

Make all the bills voted on seperate and not combinations of things with addons. Eliminate congress's ability to add on pork totally. If im a congressman and cant "hide" my little goodies inside a bill, and have to get them publically voted on, then Im not likely to try .. right ? Quick Fix.
