The Amateur Message Boards of the World Famous VoyeurWeb

More than $3.5 million in taxpayer money has been spent this year subsidizing little-used, sometimes empty commercial flights out of two local airports, according to a review by the News4 I-Team.

Those flights, from Hagerstown Regional Airport in Hagerstown, Maryland and Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport in Weyers Cave, Virginia are part of a controversial federal program called Essential Air Service.

The program, which costs $246 million nationwide each year and supports several dozen airports in small cities, is under increasing scrutiny amid tight federal budgets. The I-Team’s review found some of the local flights depart without passengers or nearly empty loads.

It's not our money, it's taxpayer money. :lol:

Sorry, forgot to post the link.

More.

The National Institutes of Health is spending nearly a half a million dollars for researchers to observe how much time preschoolers in daycare spend outdoors.

The project will also use GPS and light sensors to track kids’ physical activity levels in a “robust” effort to fight childhood obesity.

“Physical activity lowers the risk of obesity in children, is independently associated with numerous benefits related to health and well-being, and tracks from preschool-age to adolescence,” according to a grant awarded to Seattle Children’s Hospital. “The amount of time preschoolers spend outdoors is thought to correlate with their physical activity levels.”http://freebeacon.com/issues/feds-spend ... s-outdoors

As a frugal person and a taxpayer, I would like to reveal my findings:

Fat kids are everywhere because they eat too much, don't grow up doing farm/ranch work, and don't exercise.

“The amount of time preschoolers spend outdoors is thought to correlate with their physical activity levels.”

Our tax dollars at work :roll:

Yes, outrageous!

Why do the Republicans in Congress continue to let this sort of thing go on?

Excessive, long term drug abuse results in a loss of cognitive skills. A normal person is able to follow the discussion but a junkie pothead stoner is easily confused, as our resident Marxist, homo junkie pothead stoner demonstrates.
Or he is just playing his silly ass word games again.

Pinky Boy Crank Skank Loser Insipid still doesn't understand that money for wasteful government programs is provided by Congress. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I Crack the whip, and the trained chimp stands ready to immediately jump. Just as he has been trained. Complete with a meaningless array of his impotent emoticons.

Now dance some more, chimp.

Given his intellectual depth (i.e., less than the typical mud puddle), and his years in Frisco, Clownswisher has been whipped figuratively and literally.
