Congress adjourned for the year after approving spending measures that shield narrow interests with millions in benefits. Projects include 10 million for flood-prone area work near Sacramento, 30 million for Pennsylvania water and sewer systems, funds for Hawaii and Alaska, and a shrimp study in Arizona.

Senator John McCain criticizes the reversal of pledges to stop such wasteful spending.
