Is pork filled, anti-troop legislation the new direction promised by Pelosi?!?

Answer 1

The lying dems said they had a mandate. Is this what the mandate was?

So how is this money that is directed to support our people in danger going to help them.

1) $24 million for funding for sugar beets.
2) $3 million for funding for sugar cane (goes to one Hawaiian co-op).
3) $20 million for insect infestation damage reimbursements in Nevada, Idaho, and Utah.
4) $2.1 billion for crop production losses.
5) $1.5 billion for livestock production losses.
6) $100 million for Dairy Production Losses.
7) $13 million for Ewe Lamb Replacement and Retention Program.
8) $32 million for Livestock Indemnity Program.
9) $40 million for the Tree Assistance Program.
10) Provision that extends the availability by a year $3.5 million in funding for guided tours of the Capitol.
11) 165.9 million for fisheries disaster relief, funded through NOAA (including $60.4 million for salmon fisheries in the Klamath Basin region).
12) $25 million for asbestos abatement at the Capitol Power Plant.
13) $22.8 million for geothermal research and development.

and this is not the whole list. These are not add ons to the entire budget, just one supplemental spending bill intended to support our troops at war.

I find this despicable behavior. My Senators and Congressman have heard from once a day on this. If this is how they are going to act, I want a recount of the vote, or better yet I want a re-election, right now.

Better yet I want term limits NOW.

Answer 2

Its too bad that she had to buy a few votes with 24 billion dollars worth of pork in order to get a bill passed that would eventually stop the killing of Americans - But the people who should do some explaining are the representatives who refused to support the anti-war bill unless they were paid off.

Answer 3

Repubs are the kings of pork. Nobody even comes close.

According to a Congressional Research Service study, the number of earmarks in spending, or appropriations, bills went from 4,126 in 1994 to 15,877 in 2005. The value of those earmarks doubled to $47.4 billion in the same period. Earmarked projects often include roads, bridges and economic development efforts.
