Pork in the 'Stimulus' Bill

[Franzl]

Not really much pork there.

75M to construct a new "security training" facility for State Dept Security officers when they can be trained at existing facilities of other agencies. I like very much  as i would benefit

Summer job programs for youth ... I like this one as well


The rest of it  is porky pig.

I see. So that means it's only pork if you don't directly benefit from it?

[Franzl]

Cut the excessive pork from the bill ( The aids resreach and non smoking thing has been cut) because most of it is PORK spending on projects or what I call "pay offs" to their rich democratic pals. 74 million just to pad the salaries of those at the FBI?    Its not like they are cutting FBI agents, yet you want to give them more money?     Yes, it does throw some money at infrastructure, but its not enough compared to the money thrown at pork projects.

1. that Joe Biden amtrack hasn't turned a profit in 40 + years.   1 billion for this?

2. Global-warming research  gets 400 million?  classic pork spending at its best.

3.  $600 million to buy hybrid vehicles for federal employees  LOL


And a few million is supposed fix our infrastructure when you are throwing more at silly projects?    Lets be serious here.

I agree that much more should be spent on infrastructure....but "LOL" at your post, as usual.
Explain to me how Amtrak isn't infrastructure?

Furthermore, the green stuff is likely to create jobs....and of course, you know, help the environment?
