The Swamp has no discretionary spending left

Here’s what the National Park Service really wants for its 100th birthday this year: $11.9 billion.

That’s the total cost of deferred maintenance projects the agency has accumulated amid budget shortfalls, according to a recently released park service report. The cost of deferred maintenance is now at a record high.

The total is $440 million higher than last year, and includes deferred projects on infrastructure, visitors centers, trails and campgrounds at almost all of the 400 parks in the system. Repairs to structures and paved roads account for nearly half of all necessary repairs.

The report shows more than $630 million worth of work has been put off at Yellowstone National Park, more than $160 million at the Statue of Liberty and nearly $280 million at the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

There will be no infrastructure spending, the politicians plan to stuff pensions.
