In Response To: 700 billion bailout now 850 billion bailout (Blue Mountain Drifter)

What is this crap they put in there, its ridiculous!!??!!!!!!!???????? (BMD, you don't know that it was to woo ONLY the republican votes, nearly the same amount of Democrats voted against the first bill too).

"The House will be voting on a bill packed with $100 billion worth of extra incentives than Monday's proposal had.

Some of those additions have been assailed by spending watchdogs as "pork," like the $6 million for the makers of kids' wooden arrows, according to a summary of the bill released by the Senate Finance Committee.

Other goodies intended to attract the votes of individual members of Congress include $192 million for the rum producers of Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands, $128 million for car racing tracks, $33 million for corporations operating in American Samoa, and $10 million for small film and television productions.
