Now folks, I'm no libertarian. I also do not lie awake at night fuming about property taxes, government spending, and the inheritance tax exemption threshold. But the 2005 Federal Highway Spending Bill is enough to finally put me and the Cato Institute on the same page for once.

Not only does the bill waddle in at a staggering (if not incomprehensible) 6,000,000,000 but it contains 6,371 individual entitlement projects – pork barrel projects for individual Congressional districts.

In comparison, the original Interstate Highway Act signed by Dwight Eisenhower contained two. In the 1987 bill there were 152.

Some of my personal favorites include:

A total of $499,000,000 (that's half a billion dollars) for Dennis Hastert's district, including $70,400,000 for a bridge on some rural wagon path called "Stearns Road" in Kane County and $2,564,000 for a system of hiking trails in Dixon, Illinois.

$200,000 for a "deer avoidance system" in Weedsport, New York. Is that, um, a fence?

$3,000,000 for "dust control mitigation" on the rural roads of Arkansas

$941,000,000 in total projects for Alaska. Of course, no one lives in Alaska…but Transportation Committee Chairman Don Young does. Coincidentally enough, $125 million of the funds will be used to build a bridge called "Don Young Way" in Anchorage.

$630,000,000 for House Ways and Means Chairman Bill Thomas's district in central California. Rostenkowski would be proud. Only one state (Texas) received more funding than Thomas's single district.

$2,880,000 for a bike path in Delta Ponds, Oregon. Is it going to be paved in platinum?

$200,000,000 for a bridge in Alaska to an island on which 47 people live.

,000,000 for a highway in Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands.

The island is a total of 85 square miles in size and already has over 200 miles of paved road.

A total of $763 billion plus for projects in Texas

Notice how the majority of this stuff is going into the pockets of Republican committee chairmen and Republican-heavy states. I can't wait until the 2006 elections.

I hope the Republicans finally gain the majority in Congress so we can start seeing some fiscal responsibility.
