Since the government is giving $6 million dollars to private bus companies for GPS systems... why not pay for my college tuition, gas for my car, and don't forget my grocery bill...(sarcasm). Better yet... why not....instead of wasting the money on GPS systems... contribute it towards our national debt which I believe is at 11.6 trillion dollars ... See Moreor use it to stimulate the economy? Honestly...a bus driver should know his or her route and if not there are maps. One may always ask for directions or possibly ask before the driver starts driving. common sense people? Did bus drivers constantly get lost before the invention of GPS or has the human race simply became too lazy and unintelligent to read a map, remember a route, or ask for directions.

6 mil?? Are you kidding? how about the rest of rome that is burning at the same time?

oh and god forbid PRIVATE bus companies paying for their OWN gps systems......

Can we please cut government spending by fifty percent next...and then start to really cut. Thank you.

@Seth David Hoard-
NO SIR! WE WERE NOT "STUCK" WITH ANYONE!!!!!!! We had Ron Paul! We had Chuck Baldwin! THEY WERE OPTIONS! But we chose to do the COWARDLY thing and follow idiots like Rush and Hannity and "vote for the better of two evils."

Tell us you were afraid to DO THE RIGHT THING.
Tell us you were tricked. Bamboozled.... See More
Tell us you actually thought McCain was a great American statesman.
BUT DON'T EVER SAY "WE WERE STUCK WITH...!"
My opinion of your discontent with our RINO created situation... REAP IT!

Socialism at its finest!

Is this really something someone thought was a good idea? GPS for busses? How hard is it to stick to a route? Sen McCain please keep on helping our country, I like my freedom that you fought for, please don't let socialism take my freedoms away.

Talk about the trillions in waste. I agree 6 million is wasteful but how cares when we are wasting 1.7 trillion in stimulus. Want America's attention, get your head out of the sand and start talking about the real problems.

Finally! Someone who'll stand up to all this RIDICULOUS SPENDING!!!! We need small Government not big.

Yea Hi John. Ben here. Umm, do you think you could talk to some of your buddies about debt? Do I need to say anything else? How about getting us out of debt? It's getting out of hand. Thanks, I expect a full report on my desk by Thursday morning. ; )
BJL

I agree with John McCain. Barrack Obama has already spent about 6 BILLION worth of our tax money on who knows what.

If we could save $6 million on stopping GPS systems for private bus companies, there's A LOT more money to be saved!

Let them buy their own like everybody else...good grief.

then you definitely need to stop cap and trade and nationalized health care.

Millions of people should have been paying attention instead of following around "hope and change" McCain-Palin forever!

Go McCain!!!

6 million... wow. Why don't you go vote for TARP or a second 'stimulus' ... I find this funny. IMHO, Congress needs a GPS to know where thier moral compass went.

Don't buses usually follow the exact same route every day? Last time I checked you don't need GPS for that. Besides, I've got my own GPS, it's called a map.

good luck!!!

I emailed you about our camp we do at my church here in California... but i don't think you ever got it... =(

how do you vote for this?

While 6 million isn't a ton of money to the government by any means ...its a start..and if the pricks of America truly understand what being an American means then they wouldn't have nominated a puppet to be our leader...point of saying all this is that if McCain was our leader then he would have tons more pull on getting much larger and completely retarded things off of the tax payers back.

I agree with the other 553

Can we get that number down to about minus a few trillion?

wow. 6 million. screw the rest of the 13 trillion huh McCain?

The amount of the subsidy is less than the TARP bailout I'm sure and you voted for that.....a little late to try and redeem your "anti-pork" reputation isn't it?

Good job, Mr. McCain... We appreciate that. However, it's mere pennies compared to the Cap-N-Tax DISASTER that is coming to a Senate near YOU. VOTE THE CAP AND TRADE BILL INTO THE TOILET.... Sir.

We all need to stop the gripping and vote properly and help the conservatives get in whether dems, repubs, or Independant.

He [McCain] should have been a conservative during the election and come out against the bailout. He's just as bad as Democrats, most of the time.

"wow. 6 million. screw the rest of the 13 trillion huh McCain?"

x2!

Yes, we do need to stop wasteful spending. It seems it's only getting worse. Stop government control.

Sure, 6 million is peanute. More like a peanut crumb. As McCain alluded to, (but could have done a better job emphasizing) during the campaign, fighting pork isn't just about saving money. The amount of pork barrel spending is increasing exponentially, but really, it's the mindset that's more dangerous than the wasting of the money. The fact that ... See Morelobbyists are basically bribing government officials into using everyone else's money for thier pet projects is desturbing. Even if we only save enough money for a handful of military equipment or a fraction of a stimul bill, it's worth fighting for honest government because in the long term, a government that values the good of the country over the good of its campaign coffers is better for everyone. It's time voters start recognizing this.

I hate all this pork barrels stuff. We have to curb out spending!

Amen.... what happened to the map?

How about Senators themselves getting rid of perks!
I.E.: ridiculously comfortable salaries with huge pensions; tax-payer subsidized health & life insurance; wheeled perks like limos & private jets; the franking privilege, which gives lawmakers millions in tax dollars to create a favorable public image while opponents must raise their own funds; ... See Moreexemptions and immunities from tax, pension, and other laws that burden private citizens -- all crafted by lawmakers themselves who remain insulated from the real-world effects of their own policies!!!!
Don't try to pick a log out of your neighbor's eye when you have a plank in your own!!!

$6M is NOTHING! Why is he so proud of this? BFD!

Actually, with GPS you can track the fleet and make it more efficient. However, should not use government funds. Stil, TRILLIONS vs $6 Million. I want to hear about where the STIMULUS is really going? Call for an AUDIT of STIMULUS FUNDS NOW AND KEEP THE HEAT ON!

The stimulus is a failure, like its founder.

Pam Huffman Michel. Great wisdom. But, with the leftist republicans and leftist democrats... I find myself longing for the days of having only a plank to worry about.

you guys know there is a website that says where all the stimulus money is right? And that only like a tenth of the money in the stimulus plan has been spent so far right?

GPS? Don't buses run the same route every day?

God help us if the bus driver doesn't already know how to get there.

Why would it be the government's job to fund this kind of project? Good catch! :)

why should the tax payer always foot the bill for such things let the bus company foot the bill if they want this stuff so bad

What's a mere 6m after all the other junk?
