And one last thing, I stumbled across a cool website hosted by “Citizens Against Government Waste”, www.cagw.org, and they had some interesting facts about 2010 earmarks. These are a few examples of how our government is spending our taxes.

$465 million for the Joint Strike Fighter alternate engine. This military aircraft has an engine that does not work and apparently we need to find one that does.

Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) received $7,287,000 to continue the Harkin Grant program and Senator Robert Byrd (D-W.Va) received $7,000,000 for the Robert C. Byrd Institute of Advanced Flexible Manufacturing Systems.

And here’s to Representative Leonard Lance (R-N.J.) for his ever-changing stance on earmarks; first signing a no-earmark pledge, then receiving $21 million in earmarks, then supporting the Republican earmark moratorium.

Today is the first day of a new month of running and blogging and I am now officially under 2,000 miles.

1,998.6 miles to go.
