How the Feds Reduced Car Crashes by Restoring a Lighthouse Nobody Uses

We present this week’s Golden Fleece Award to the “public servants” at the U.S. Dept. of Transportation.

You, we and other American taxpayers gave these bozos money to fund the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21^st Century fund (“MAP-21”). Its purpose: to “reduce crashes, injuries and fatalities involving large trucks and buses.” Saving lives is good. Right?

But saving lighthouses is even better. That’s why they filched $160,000 from MAP-21 to restore the Cape Henry, VA lighthouse. The catch: this relic was abandoned in 1879 and later replaced!

Ever wonder why the D.C. crowd acts like it’s all their personal money to spend any way they want?
