The Obama administration held onto $473 million in unspent pork barrel earmarks that have been sitting there for nearly a decade and is now releasing them for transportation projects, with one catch: They have to use them right now or lose 'em. The administration says it's to create jobs, but it seems more like election year pork. And the possibility of giving the money back to the taxpayers whose money they took? Never crossed anyone's mind, I'm sure. (Los Angeles Times)
