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.
