Palin's Earmarks
Among the various earmarks that Sarah Palin requested, one stands out as almost ridiculous as the bridge to nowhere- a request made for fiscal year 2009 for over $10 million federal dollars to upgrade airports serving tiny communities in Alaska, including airports in Akiachak (population 585), Akutan (population 713), and Chalkyitsik (population 83).

I'm sure the people that reside in those communinities don't see this as ridiculous. Small towns and airports need support too. Better them than hard earned money going to pay for the healthcare and education of illegal immigrants or the care for people who can't but don't work.
