It should more properly be called the Anti-Capitalism Destruction of the American Economy Bill.

Too late for that. It's PL ("Public Law") and the bailout portion is now an "Act." I was buried in another portion of the PL, but did notice in the "Misc" section the "toy wooden arrows" tax reduction/exemption.

Reading the stuff that comes out of Congress, and gets signed by the President, can make one pretty cynical pretty quickly. A week or two I was asked to read another Act, proclaiming the opportunity for organizations to register as partners in a government-industry initiative. After studying it a while I realized that the industry organization that broadcast this information very likely wouldn't qualify -- the rules for joining were so narrow that only one organization I know of could join (and it is very liberal).

That sounds similar to a law produced here in Maryland. It was specifically crafted to apply a financial burden to only one company, WalMart.

Because it was obviously discriminatory, in a later suit it was declared unconstitutional. Mirabile dictu!

However, had it been merely laser-focused on an opportunistic special group, there would probably not have been anyone to raise a complaint, and it would likely have gone into effect.

It’s sad when those who are chosen and given oaths to protect us simply prey on us instead.
