6.6 Billion Dollars In Pork Spending In Failed Bail Out  |
|
 The failed bill can be read under my heading read the bill for yourself,if you read the actual bill there is 2,322 pet projects tucked inside the bill this adds 6.6 billion dollars of pork barrel spending that had nothing what so ever to do with bailing out the greedy of wall street or even main street Actually this 6.6 billion dollars is simply more of the fat cat's greed, billions of dollars in their pet projects to take back to their home states.
I know people are blaming the republicans because the current bill failed this morning, somebody forgot to mention the 2,322 pork projects has been a real hot issues for days on capitol hill.
I tend to look at it this way if the demarcates really wanted to take care of the American tax payers on main street then why have they add pork barrel spending at the tune of 6.6 billions in to this emergency bill.

1.  baileycows (3416) | 1 year ago |  I am watching the news now and all I keep hearing is that they are going to revise the plan so that maybe it will get passed. Maybe this is what they are revising the pork barreling your talking about. I think personally it is an election scam to get Obama for presidency and our government has created this scare because they want a democrate in office.

 kennyrose (4004) | 1 year ago | Oh so many bills,I wonder is this the right bail out bill they have been working on? and took a vote on today?
95 democrats voted against the bail out had just 13 more democrats voted yes the democrats being the majority could had passed the bail out bill today standing alone.
Ninty-five dirty little democrats that voted against the bail out, mommy Nancy P. is going to spank your dirty little butts like she spanked George and John today.

| 4. tthom64 (294) | 1 year ago | If I could go to Washington and change one thing first, this would be it. A bill ought to be about one thing and one thing only. If it's an education bill, it ought to address a specific education problem. If this is a financial system bill, it ought to be about nothing but economic issues. NO MORE PORK!! Then good people who vote against the bill because they don't agree with all the pork get labeled 'against education reform' or 'against the american taxpayer.' It's so pathetic, we've got to get rid of it. | |

| kennyrose (4004) | 1 year ago | Zsun,
Could you provide the link to the financial part of the bill,
Like where is the 2,322 pork barrel spending projects which totals 6.6 billions dollars.
Do you know why 95 democrats rejected this currant bill?
Had 13 more democrat's voted yes this current bill would had pass,but 95 democrat's was against it,which caused the bill to fail.
I understand liberal democrats like Nancy Polois are saying this is George W. Bush's fault and the republicans even tho Bush encouraged this bill to pass,the fact remains the democrats are the majority of the house they did not need the republican's to get this 700 billion dollar bill to pass,they could had done it with 218 democrat votes,but 95 democrats voted against the bill,so how is it the republican's and George W. Bush's fault the bill did not pass when the democrat's are the house majority? | |

| 5. anniepa (9082) | 1 year ago | Thank you, Rose, I really needed this good laugh!! I almost spit out my iced tea and I think I threw my back out worse than usual from rolling on the floor laughing, but it was well worth it!
You don't know the different between the Spending Bill and the Bail-Out Bill! Here are a few "minor details" you seem to have overlooked:
The "Bail out bill" failed in the House of Representatives while the Spending Bill failed in the Senate.
Your hero, McCain, skipped the Senate vote BUT he said he'd vote for it despite the earmarks he's sooooo very much against.
I guess "somebody" forgot to mention that, too...

| kennyrose (4004) | 1 year ago | Ya I know Annie,and you was still laughing when your boy asked for pork spending to support his fraudulent Acorn rip off program,keep laughing Annie either way the last laugh will be on you.
If your a democrat Barney Frank or what ever the fat little creeps name is 12 of the democrats that sit on his financial board voted against him,good day on capitol hill.
95 good democrats voted against Nancy,Harry a Barney the three fat rats that run around the capitol stealing the people on main street hard earn money,I would bury my head back in the sand in sheer shame.
But the sad story is there is millions out here on main street that have no problem stealing from the hard working American tax payers,people that have managed their life's for 50-60 years the hard way working for a better life.
So you see we that do care know the greed is not only wall street it's on main street and on capitol hill with rat's running all over the floor looking to steal every red penny they possibly can from the good people of American,really something to be proud of. | |
