    Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here. I should have old permalinks redirected shortly, but for now all the old posts are at least imported. You can search for a key phrase below if you'd like to hunt one down.

    Everything but the oink
    Eric, who's a Pennsylvania native like me, has listed some projects that funnel federal pork into the commonwealth. As he says, each one is modest in scope, but together they contribute to government bloat. Besides, even a small amount of wasteful spending is, well, wasteful.

    I'm not sure what the most wasteful federally-funded PA project in recent memory is. Being next door to the domain of Robert "Yes, West Virginia, there is a Santa Clause" Byrd kind of makes you complacent about these things. However, I was impressed by the prodigality and why-is-Washington-involved-in-this? pointlessness of a waterfront redevelopment initiative in Philadelphia, for which then-Representative Joseph Hoeffel secured over $10 million a few years ago. (Note Hoeffel's statist paranoia over what private control might do to the site.) It's not an ongoing project, so I don't think it's eligible for inclusion in Eric's list.

    Added later: Perhaps I should point out that if you're thinking you vaguely recognize Hoeffel's name, it's because he was the Democrat who ran against Arlen Specter for the PA US Senate seat that was up for election last year. One of his campaign catch-phrases? "Fiscal restraint," naturally.
