I can't believe they passed that crock of shit. Did you guys hear some of the bullshit that was included in that bill?? Tax break for companies that make wooden arrow toys for kids...tax breaks for wool research. My god man these people are out of touch little kids.
List of Bullshit included:
- 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)If this 'Rescue Plan' (new PR spun name) is sooo needed ASAP right now can't wait that they can't wait a few days then why the fuck did they have time to pack it full of extra bullshit.
I also saw that Diane Feinstein received 95,000 phone calls and or emails - 85,000 of them opposed this bill. I can't imagine that this ratio was THAT swayed in other states where these assholes feel like they can do whatever the hell they want. I'm so pissed.
- Sounds like the Repubs want to delay the collapse until them Dems are in and then they point...DCDesigns
- their fingers and say look at what they did. This bill is more of the same that started this mess!DCDesigns
- dunno if you saw the vote. It wasn't even close so there goes your partisan conspiracy theory.tommyo
- There were more ayes then an ophthalmologists text book. Both sides of this gov are selling us on down the river.tommyo
