12-20-2003 Iraq War Ignites Strife Between Senators
Stevens did not block the Appalachian Regional Commission, which Byrd helped create, from funneling aid to West Virginia, and Byrd reciprocated when Stevens produced the Denali Commission to provide similar economic assistance for Alaska.
It's also one of Congress' most rewarding committees for lawmakers, who use it to win roads, dams and other projects for the folks back home. Almost in a class by themselves, Byrd and Stevens have used their perches over the years to steer vast federal sums to their economically fragile states.

The States are that Fragile then why keep the same idiots in Congress for nearly a Century?
There should be Term limits to stop this kind of Kingdom rule like we still have Kings. :|
