#3 No hard data on what this is, rumor has it that it's over budget, behind schedule, and doesn't perform as promised

and this is different from other pushing-the-envelope-of-what's-possible programs how?

don't get me wrong - I'm against waste in programs, but I know from experience how hard it is to accurately predict just what it will take to do something that's a big step forward from current systems .....

#4 Not much in the way aerospace industry in their states. How's it feel to be in the minority, guys? Tough not being at the head table. Get used to it. Have to think that taxpayer money will be more effectively spent by limiting access of guys like these to the trough.

#8 On Wednesday, Rockefeller had called the program, tucked inside Congress' new blueprint for U.S. intelligence spending, ''stunningly expensive.''

"Stunningly expensive" is any proposed Federal program by a Republican administration. Please shut your piehole, Senator.

That means the program isn't putting any money into his district

Good luck catching fellow Senator ~~Pork~~ Byrd. It's like chasing this guy on the all-time passing yards record. Fuggedaboutit!

#9 rumor has it that it's over budget, behind schedule, and doesn't perform as promised.

I'll take recently built tunnels through Boston for $1,000, Alex.

#10 I'm just a little offended (on Marino's behalf) that you would bring him into this discussion on an equal of Byrd and Rockefeller. Marino's done much more for the world (maybe less for W. VA)
