Your tax dollars at work?

Gas is around 3 bucks a gallon. NJ is so deep in debt that the sales tax is going to be raised. I can't walk into McDonald's and order a coffee without an interpretor. Young people are dying in Iraq. The list could go on and on. So, what is the NJ legislature debating today? They are deciding what is to be the official dirt of New Jersey. Today, they will probably designate downer soil as our official dirt. Now here is more than you ever wanted to know about Downer Soil:
Downer soil is formed in sandy coastal plains and characterized by a surface layer featuring dark grayish brown, loamy sand. It is often found in woodlands with oaks, hickory and pine trees. The truly sad part is that 20 other states have an official dirt, also. This is why we vote them into office, to do stupid stuff like this?
