Pumps' Perplexities

This, "above subject", term is the twenty-first century
governmental word for the twentieth century word
"pork".....A fancy word or words for a Senator or
Congressman to send money from Washington DC
back home, to build or fund - something or other.......

It is all part of the "big governmental game"...."Send
me to Washington and I will get federal funds to
support the mouse experiment at the local college"....

Each Senator or Congressman should now start using
his/her 'earmarks" for the repair of the infra-structure.....
Spend the money on roads, bridges and water systems.....

But this is a fantasy and will never come to pass.......An
"earmark" to fix a bridge does not get a Senator or
Congressman "one" vote........If you send "earmark" funds
to a college for some study on Mickey Mouse at least
the President of the College, some professors and
students will vote for you........Pumps
