Ernst seeks brakes on boondoggle federal spending
Sen. Joni Ernst urges blocking what she calls bottomless boondoggles as inflation climbs and the national debt nears 30 trillion dollars. She cites a San Francisco subway extension costing 4.7 to 6.9 billion dollars with a projected 200 million dollar annual loss and promotes the Put the Brakes on the Boondoggles Act to halt costly projects over 1 billion over budget. The critique targets Democratic control of Congress and White House while noting Biden spending plans and rising consumer prices.
