Hmm, I thought they were the ones who had to vote to buy the damn thing. In which case their remarks may well be inaccurate or deliberately misleading, but certainly not meaningless. We certainly can't expect the Senators to vote for the SSC out of their own personal interest in particle physics. "Jobs" is a much more plausible motive, even if building the SSC is a bad way to produce jobs. Or possibly the Senators were referring to their *own* jobs.
