A Japanese Garden
Here he goes again.
Senator Tom Coburn, who in spite of being in the US Senate for nearly a full year still stubbornly believes government should be respondent to the needs of the people, proposed an amendment to the HHS and Education bill that would've transferred $60 million from a construction project at the Center for Disease Control into the AIDS Drug Assistance Program.
But this construction project isn't just any ordinary construction project. This one includes a Japanese garden and a stream for the agency's Atlanta campus.
What's more important: live AIDS patients or a scenic area for government employees?
The US Senate, 85-14, voted for the scenic area.
Perhaps next year Dr. Coburn will finally understand how government works.
