Tom Daschle: proponent of HillaryCare and skeptic of the Amerithrax investigation.
I didn’t know that there actually is a money hole, though, and Daschle’s a fan of it. This article from 7 years ago explains:
U.S. scientists are asking the National Science Foundation (NSF) to pour $281 million into a hole in the ground. A new research coalition last week submitted a proposal to NSF to transform one of the world’s deepest gold mines into a world-class underground laboratory for physics, geology, and extreme biology. The plan is enthusiastically backed by many researchers, and a powerful member of Congress–Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD) –hopes to find money to get the ball rolling.
Government efficiency at work: the proposal for this lab is “awaiting action” by the NSF.
