Spending Bill
WASHINGTON - Automakers gained $25 billion in taxpayer-subsidized loans and oil companies won elimination of a long-standing ban on drilling off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts as the Senate passed a sprawling spending bill Saturday.
The 78-12 vote sent the $634 billion measure to President Bush, who was expected to sign it even though it spends more money and contains more pet projects than he would have liked.
This is in addition to the $7oo billion dollar bailout.
There is no need for any earmarks or pet projects attached to the bailout, they are covered here.
Not to mention that because the bailout has taken time to be discussed, we the American people are paying for the "GOLDEN PARACHUTES". They are being handed out left and right.

These little "pet" projects are what anger me.

You know this was done just before the bailout agreement to get to the agreement and give various people what they wanted so they'd go along with the bailout. And you know Bush has to go along with it to get his bailout. Bunch of crooks! They also knew if they attached this junk to the bailout people would FLIP OUT so they snuck in this separate bill. So our cute little bailout is more like $13 billion? Nice. Makes you wonder about the ones saying they wouldn't play politics and let pork be attached to the bailout - if they really cared about they, and not just making a political ploy to look like the good guys, they'd be screaming about this. If we had a President with a backbone, or McCain for that matter, he'd have gotten on TV last night and told us about this stunt. I guess that's hoping for too much "straight talk" though. I'm just beyond disappointed with the entire thing right now.
