Wall Street Bailout

[IRISHBULL]

They shoehorned a bunch of garbage into the bill that has nothing to do with the bailout.. it's legal government bribes to win yes votes.. I would say it passes but would not be surprised if it didn't because if the American people were against it in the first place you can bet your last dollar their REALLY against it now that they are seeing these dem/rep peeps are using the bill for self gain..


New Tax earmarks in Bailout bill
- Film and Television Productions (Sec. 502)
- Wooden Arrows designed for use by children (Sec. 503)
- 6 page package of earmarks for litigants in the 1989 Exxon Valdez incident, Alaska (Sec. 504)

Tax earmark “extenders” in the bailout bill.
- Virgin Island and Puerto Rican Rum (Section 308)
- American Samoa (Sec. 309)
- Auto Racing Tracks (317)
- Wool Research (Sec. 325)

I love the auto racing tracks in particular. I can see the headlines now: “Global financial markets melt down, NASCAR, Caribbean rum hardest hit”. As many people have said now, I’d be more inclined to take this crisis seriously if people on the Hill didn’t use it to butter up their favored constituencies.
