Book excerpt: Unscheduled ship maintenance and repairs is a high priority for the U.S. Navy. Such repairs are sometimes beyond the capability of the ship¿s crew to perform; cannot be deferred; and must be made at a remote location. In 1995 it was recommended that the former Naval Ship Repair Facility on Guam be closed. The Navy leased the property to the Guam Econ. Dev¿t. and Commerce Authority, which sub-leased the property to a private shipyard. In Jan. 2007 the Navy recommended allowing the private shipyard¿s lease on Navy land to expire in 2012. This report determines the extent to which the Navy has: (1) identified future ship repair requirements at Guam; and (2) identified and assessed options to address those requirements. Includes recommendations. Illus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal government wastes your tax dollars worse than a drunken sailor on shore leave. The 1984 Grace Commission uncovered that the Department of Defense spent $640 for a toilet seat and $436 for a hammer. Twenty years later things weren't much better. In 2004, Congress spent a record-breaking $22.9 billion dollars of your money on 10,656 of their pork-barrel projects. The war on terror has a lot to do with the record $413 billion in deficit spending, but it's also the result of pork over the last 18 years the likes of: - $50 million for an indoor rain forest in Iowa - $102 million to study screwworms which were long ago eradicated from American soil - $273,000 to combat goth culture in Missouri - $2.2 million to renovate the North Pole (Lucky for Santa!) - $50,000 for a tattoo removal program in California - $1 million for ornamental fish research Funny in some instances and jaw-droppingly stupid and wasteful in others, The Pig Book proves one thing about Capitol Hill: pork is king!
