4. Have expected to see lots of crap..
Through page 120, so far the only obvious wasteful spending (in my opinion) is this:

4 Park Service assets on the National Mall in Washington,
5 DC, $200,000,000, of which $100,000,000 shall only be
6 made available to the extent that funds are matched by

Seems quite silly to me, to make the mall nicer. That money could do a lot better elsehwere.
