Tar & Feather?

I'm going to take this from the US Today from 9-3-08. U.S. Senator Charles Schumer is working to increase New York's maple syrup production and sales. He pledged to help get federal funding to build a maple syrup processing plant in Lewis County, the state's leading producer of syrup. New York's 1,500 maple producers generate $8.02 million in sales in 2006. This is what pisses me off most. Can you say pork belly funding? This is not the responsibility of the federal government. If that damn industry generates that much money in sales, then they can pay for their own processing plant! The damn state of New York benefits more from this industry than the federal government, but this asshole thinks all of us Americans should foot the bill for his pet project. This is what our tax dollars are wasted on among other things. Tar & Feather this asshole so all the other dickwads in Congress get the idea what will happen to them if they try the same stunt!
