They got the pork in.............
They would have you believe the U.S. Economy would collapse unless the bail out is passed!, Yet! with all the panic, they still managed to get pork in!. I have no idea of 'why' the 'auto race tracks' but, I'd like to read it?.
the Senate did add a few winners to this new version: 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) - Mine Rescue Teams (Sec. 310) - Mine Safety Equipment (Sec. 311) - Domestic Production Activities in Puerto Rico (Sec. 312) - Indian Tribes (Sec. 314, 315) - Railroads (Sec. 316) - Auto Racing Tracks (317) - District of Columbia (Sec. 322) - Wool Research (Sec. 325) |

That stuff is really not PORK. They are things that have been well discussed for many months in both the Senate and House of Reps regarding tax issues. But on the other hand, why do they tack stuff on to one of the most important bills of our time? Just pure stupidity from Congress. That's why their approval rating is in the single digits. Hell, even lawyers and used car salesmen have higher approval rating than Congress. That tells ya something! OK, all you lawyers and used car salemen can throw flames at me now. **) **) |
OK, call it BRIBES. It is what it is.

Correct Warren but, there so close it's hard to tell the difference.
From 'the next right' Jim dandy and Rudbek When you cause tax revenues to decrease by changing tax rates or tax items, the money vanishes from the net at the end of the fiscal year and becomes a contributing factor to a net deficit just as surely as spending the same amount would have. A tax provision that is intended to benefit a single entity or a single community is very similar to an earmark and should be treated similarly (i.e. with transparency and skepticism). That said there are a lot fewer tax provisions that benefit single entities than there are spending provisions. |
Howdy,
Oops! I thought this was about Pork-N-Beans!:rolleyes::3DSMILE::JEKYLHYDE Paul |
IMHO, ALL bills should be "single-item", or at least the same topic.
