Pork in the 'Stimulus' Bill

[Marokai Backbeat]

Half of this is not pork. It's only logical there is going to be some pork involved in the bill, but such doesn't amount to a great deal of the Stimulus bill as a whole.

I shouldn't trust anyone with an econ score over +8 to give me an accurate depiction of "pork" and "bad policy" anyway.

$75 million for salaries of employees at the FBI?   You have go to be kidding me?

This bill is loaded with pork that will do nothing to help people.

Do you know the percentage 75 million makes up in about 850 billion? Hint: Not alot.

And that's how we get to this point.

I'm just saying cranking up the pork alarm over a few million going to something totally worthless isn't worth the effort. There's alot here that isn't useful but alot of what Republicans claim is pork isn't actually "pork."

Furniture for Homeland Security?  Sewage stuff?  How is that NOT pork?

There are a few useless things on that list, but acting like "OMG LOOK AT THIS LIST IT'S ALL PORK" is just nothing short of complete idiocy.
