6)Provisions related to film and television productions

Unbelievable.

If that bailout was that good and helpful to the American people than they wouldn't have to attach anything to it for it to pass.

 

[meltdown]

Anyone adding pork to these bills and busting the budget even worse should be publicly outed and asked to explain why. They clearly have no shame to continue to earmark such bills.:youmad:

 

[DonDotta27]

Yeah everyone feels the same. I thought the money was supposed to go to help the economy. I didnt know given money to nascar or to wooden arrows would help the economy.

damn straight - and our two pathetic "candidates of change" Obama and McCain pushed for this garbage to pass.

i'd love to have the next "debate" dedicated to nothing but the candidates trying to explain the bailouts. the federal reserve already passed $630 billion to the banks last week in addition to the 700 billion we donated. so now the banks have over 1.3 trillion to piss away.

and McCain stands there and mouths off about rejecting all pork. what a joke.

Yes this desperate bailout bill....What the politicians did to make this bad bill a "good" bill, is to add 150 billion dollars in pork.
fuckin incredible

Bush signs it. Which if there was any doubt before it is now official.He is the worse President of our liftimes.

Obama will be the new President,which means America will never be America again and I blame this on Bush and McCain.

McCain the so called reformer and the man who hates pork and earmarks voted for this piece of shit legistlation.

It is the end of days for the United states of America.

Uh, sonny they ain't "giving" money to wooden arrows....they are suspending an unfair excise tax on wooden arrow businesses in Oregon.

You righty fucks have a problem with cutting taxes?

The reason they are calling it "pork" is because it shorts the revenues they bring in.

Clues are for sale for those who can process them.

and captain "pork barrel basher" mccain voted for it. what a hypocrite. it is all about politics to this guy.

it is for obama as well, don't get me wrong. but mccain is running on a platform of being against the pork and he votes for this travesty.

THEY CAN'T GO ONE BILL WITHOUT THIS CRAP? AND MCCAIN CANNOT STAND UP AND SAY NO!!! I WON'T VOTE FOR IT TILL THERE IS NOT A SINGLE EAR MARK.

what a joke.
