$97 Million for a Program That’s Being Cancelled — When the government
decided to replace old nuclear warheads with new ones, scientists at Los
Alamos National Laboratory said they needed two new buildings to produce
the necessary plutonium components. One of those structures is
reportedly nearing completion.
President Obama recently announced, however, that he is canceling the
Reliable Replacement Warhead program based on scientists’ recommendation
that it’s unnecessary. That should save the public a lot of money, right?
Think again: Officials are moving forward with the second new building
anyway. The spending bill includes $97 million for the Chemistry and
Metallurgy Research Replacement (CMRR) facilities at Los Alamos. That’s
up from $74 million in 2008, which was a big increase from the $54
million spent in 2007. In other words, the budget for a program that is
now being eliminated has increased 80 percent in the past two years.
“The question is why are they building this building?” asks Laura
Peterson of Taxpayers for Common Sense. “There’s been a lot of concern
about taking on a giant new construction project at Los Alamos, when the
primary justification for the project is gone. From our point of view,
that’s some pretty questionable funding.”

Why didn't Bush do something about it. He had 8 years, Obama's had 6 weeks.

Bush was a bad president. What's Obama's excuse?

There is this obscure little power of the president call a "veto" or is
Obama lacking the balls to "change" things
