The Stimulus "Extras" (aka, the pork)

I would like to see a list published in newspapers / on the internet, of all of the programs and extras being put into this package, with the name of the representatives and senators who are for and against each item. If the item has less than 50% support, dump it.

I have a feeling that will clean things up pretty quickly.
 
No problem CB. Your post gave me the idea so I wanted to broaden the thread name a little.

Thanks!

Senate Democrats Add Golf Carts to Stimulus

The U.S. Senate’s stimulus package includes $300 million for environmentally friendly modes of transportation, including “neighborhood electric vehicles” — which are, in fact, golf carts.

The 778-page Senate bill includes this allocation: “For capital expenditures and necessary expenses of acquiring motor vehicles with higher fuel economy, including: hybrid vehicles; neighborhood electric vehicles; electric vehicles; and commercially-available, plug-in hybrid vehicles, $300,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2011.”

The Web site Townhall.com observes: “The Democrats thought they could fool you by renaming the money earmarked for golf carts in the stimulus bill as paying for ‘neighborhood electric vehicles’…

“Most people call them golf carts.”

How stupid do BHO and the libs think we are, this is an earmark or at least pork. :nuts:

Just another item the libs think is infrastructure. I'm sure this will produce thousands of jobs. If they would have just said it was going to be a welfare/socialist spending program, but no they had to pee on our feet and say it's raining. They are losing their credability pretty quickly call crap like this infrastrure, heck it ain't even welfare or a social giveaway. :laugh:

It's almost like tho old Gong Show, is it or isn't it infrastruture.
