$50 Million pork island

Post by FasterThanYou »

If you are hoping to visit the newest crown jewel in America's park system chosen by Congress, throw away the car keys and open up your wallet. The 2,900 pristine acres of beachfront property were not cheap -- or even in the United States.

Two weeks ago, on a near party line vote, a huge Democratic majority in the House agreed to spend $50 million to buy the former cotton plantation on the island of St. Croix.


I guess they think this is a way to create jobs X(

Of course Fox would never report anything that is biased! ;) ;) ;)

I'm sure there is more to the story but why would they report that if it doesn't support their cause?! :p
Brrrrr!

"It is the Gasperi's who owns the property, desire that this land not be developed, but preserved in its current condition". He could do this himself. However he would not get $50 mil! Just everyday BS that our government puts out. Pelosi will probably take over the guys house to hold her meetings. She can fly everybody down on tax payers money, and throw some great parties.

I guess Fox was the only media outlet with the balls to call them out. =))

Or you can just look at the congress web site
