Ever wonder how your tax dollars are being invested spent wasted? Here’s an absolutely terrifying example – the John Murtha Pork Barrel International Airport. Located, of course, right in the heart of Democrat Congressman John Murtha’s home district.
It is a monument to the complete corruption of the system in general and John Murtha specifically.
$150,000,000 of your tax dollars have gone to build this gilded memorial to Mr. Murtha in the last ten years. To repeat, $150,000,000.
For that you get three flights a day, all of them to Washington, DC, which makes it extremely convenient for Rep. Murtha.
In 2008, an average of only 20 people per day flew out of the airport. The government subsidizes every ticket to the tune of $100. That means that you – the taxpayer – often pay more per ticket than each of those travelers did.
The airport’s motto should be, “The John Murtha Pork Barrel International Airport, where your money flies out the window.”
