Another 664,703 of our tax money to hand out for free rides. The country is bankrupt and the government is still doing the same old thing. It is insane! Maybe the taxpayers (ie-the slaves) would be better served if they put this money towards the national debt that is costing 500 million a day in interest. I know it's a drop in the bucket, but how many other drops are being spilled nationwide? If we don't throw these irresponsible bastards out of office, we are done (if not already).
The things wont go better if the government still act that way. Other measures have to be taken
