Our wonderful politicians at work.
 
Drop by the house and I will give you your .05 cents back that you gave in taxes. It is also good to know that Arizona Republicans don't want 500 million to settle a lawsuit in their state. Really glad it is just democrats. That is a lot of research you did there snip, so was it the great Walter Williams or fox news that gave you that information?
 
Just type in omnibus spending bill in yahoo and see what you get. It doesn't matter the overall percentage of the money it is the principle. Politicians doing favors for donations. Stealing money from citizens to give it to another. Anyway I thought Obama was going to nix all these earmarks??????????
 
Both sides do this kind of crap. It's why I think they should all be fired and make this kind of junk illegal. If they were actually forced to have decent performance (like any other job) and have a balanced budget every year this wouldn't happen.

Snip I don't have an internet education like you do. So far that is all I have seen. You can about type in anything you want on internet and get desired result. Like Zack Wamp said, dumbing down America. Not going to go any further with that one.
 
O.k. go to US Senate.gov if you don't believe it. CNN, MSNBC, ABC they are all reporting on it. Here are some more from Yahoo News.
$247,000 - Virus-free grapes in Washington State
"$413,000 - Peanut research in Alabama
"$125,000 - Fishery equipment for the Guam Fisherman's Cooperative Association
"$277,000 - Potato pest management in Wisconsin
"$246,000 - Bovine tuberculosis treatment in Michigan and Minnesota
"$522,000 - Cranberry and blueberry disease and breeding in New Jersey
"$400,000 - Solar parking canopies and plug-in electric stations in Kansas
"$165,000 - Maple syrup research in Vermont

And my personal favorite $349,000 - Swine waste management in North Carolina. You know when you can steal tax dollars for research on pig $hit they really got us by the balls.
 
Arthropod Damage Control, NV
$1,000,000
Reid

Here is another one of the Lefts heros. This craps got to stop. 1.1 trillion spending bill. 8 billion in earmarks. 2000.00 page bill no one has read.
 
The way I see it , the more you give the Government, the more they want and the more they spent. It doesn't matter who is running congress, that's the way it has always been, but the bad part of it all is that all good Americans end up paying for all the scums of the U.S.

Nothing could be more true.
Thankfully the omnibus bill got squashed. The Republicans are taking credit for stopping it BUT they still do not have control yet. Evidently not all of the commie senators are as stupid as I thought. Some actually got the message from 11/2
