What I did find was that the state of NJ outshown them all for "errors": 18 disbursements to non-existent districts totaling more than $102 million!!Only a couple of states DID NOT have millions of dollars in "unassigned congressional districts" allocations. I'm going back now and checking the registry of the Congress to see which congresspersons' districts got the "biggest haul." Not because I wonder who but verifying what I suspect.

Then I considered myself wise for choosing candidates with the most integrity, not understanding that a president can't accomplish much if the Congress is controlled by the opposition party. Now I'm just embarrassed that I ever voted Democrat - IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN! Chicago thug politics is now controlling the Democrat Party. We need to VOTE OUT every one coming up for re-election IN 2010! LET'S TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!!! Many years ago, I considered myself a Democrat.
