$650 million for abandoned mine sites

WTF?

Is that where they plan to bury the bodies of those who do not conform?

Those who do not conform may be offered “job retraining” and “re education” at offsite retraining facilities.

Ask the Russians, Chinese, North Koreans, Cubans and Vietnamese how this worked for them.

Abandoned mines often have serious environmental issues (heavy metals in runoff, etc.) I believe that these funds are intended to clean them up. Therefore, about $640 million will be spent on studies, reports, seminars, and oversight committees, $9 million will be sent on "promising pilot technologies", $0.75 million in "evaluating" those technologies, $0.24 million in "fixing" those technologies, and about 10 grand for a couple of new pumps.

Oh, and I forgot, some of that money will have to go towards lobbying Congress for more money.

Probably Specter’s piece of the monstrosity.
