Ah...according to the story, it was the USDA, not Congress that was misspending the money. In fact it was Congress that caught them.

It is still being funded because the Congresscritters from suburban and city areas want their piece of the pie and want to make sure USDA money is being funneled in to their districts no matter what the rule is. This is std pork politics at its worst.
No kidding, we should be funding HMMV parts and ammunition manufacturing and paying contractors to rebuild Iraq. That's where are money is best spent for this country to prosper.

If the Rural Broadband Program is not doing its job, then why is it still being funded? Congress could easily resolve the problem of money being wasted by cutting the funding.
