I thought we were trying to save money? (btw...the AF, Marines, and CG have already quit sponsoring cars/teams)

It's just 6 mil, but I thought the House wanted to slash spending? We need to drop school lunch programs for poor kids but we feel the need to sponsor NASCAR drivers?

I guess so. So much for getting rid of the waste in government.

So you want to save 6 million, but waste 2.4 billion on high speed rail?  Although all of the proposed high speed rail projects come to about 54 billion.  I wonder how many school lunch programs that could buy?
