Now wait just a minute....where is the vitriol for the American people who ELECT and REELECT these men, and are giving a commie like Hussein 80% approval ratings??????????????????????????
The constitution gives we the people the power to remove these cowards every 2, 4 and 6 years.
It’s shameful, and I would guess there are only about 20% of real Americans anymore.

So this is another stimulus bill? How is this one different, or is it? Why didn’t we hear about this before it was passed?

Among the earmarks was one sponsored by Rep. Howard Berman, D-Calif., who secured $200,000 for a "tattoo removal violence outreach program" in Los Angeles. Aides said the money would pay for a
tattoo removal machine that could help gang members or others shed visible signs of their past, and anyone benefiting would be required to perform community service.
Rep. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., said the bill included at least a dozen earmarks for clients of PMA Group, a lobbying company now at the center of a federal corruption investigation.

Is “boost” another word for “stimulate”. Didn’t we just pass a Stimulate the Economy Bill? Is this a bill that is actually designed to stimulate the economy then, as opposed to just growing the government like the last one?

Why didnt we hear about this before it was passed?
And have debate? Pelosi : LoL!

We need earmark reform, Obama said in September during a presidential debate in Oxford, Miss. And when Im president, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely.

$200,000 for tattoo removal.
These people have no shame. The federal government is TAKING money earned by several American citizens and using it for tattoo removal.
These idiots who voted for Obama and the Democrats will never get a clue.
