Congress Goes to War -- For Pork

Congress is set to do a little war profiteering. The bill to pay for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq includes $20 billion in pork. Among the pet projects for Congress members' home districts:

• $74 million for peanut storage in Georia
• $25 million for California spinach growers
• $100 million for citrus growers

There's another $16 million set aside for Congress members themselves. It'll help remodel the old FDA building into new office space. (Examiner.com)
