Did You Feel John Murtha's Hand Reaching Into Your Pocket?

Tyler Grimm: John Murtha’s Airport and Other Wasteful Earmarks - WSJ.com: "In 20 years, Mr. Murtha has successfully doled out more than $150 million of federal payments to what is now being called the airport for no one...

There are a total of 18 flights per week, all of which go to Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C...

The airport has an $8.5 million, taxpayer-funded radar system that has never been used. The runway was paved with reinforced concrete at a cost of more than $17 million. The latest investment was $800,000 from the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to repave half of the secondary runway. (Never mind that the first one is hardly ever in use.)"

Whether you felt it or not, John Murtha reached into your wallet and removed $1 from you and every taxpaying American for his empty airport in Johnstown. Now, if John Murtha's airport were the only pork barrel project in DC I'd say, "so what?" But this is just one of many of Murtha's projects, and he is but one of the herds of swine that feed at the federal trough. I don't know about you, but this makes my blood boil. Thank goodness Barack Obama is putting an end to all this.
