Krauthammer was on Fox, he called it the “Pork Train” and get this, there are a couple things on it that are just so NEEDED, such as the research of wool, and something about wooden arrows for children....I would love to see the details of this so called rescue. It has RAT written all over it.

For some communities (and legislators), pork is like heroin. There are a million bridges to nowhere and libraries named after senators and community basketball courts that you and I paid for with our hard-earned dollars, and the congress-critters can’t hand it out fast enough. And the (cough-cough) “Messiah” wants to hand out even more to every corner of the globe. Ayn Rand’s futuristic world looks more and more plausible.

The bailout is combined with H.R.6049 - energy tax extenders and etc. That bill was passed by the Senate on Sept 23, on a 93-2 vote. The 2 NAY votes were Democrats, Carper and Conrad.

The bailout proper originated with the request from Secretary Paulson, in a Republican administration.
