Rep. Mike Pence quips:

"Here are some examples of what the Democrats consider 'urgent' needs that require 'prompt action: '
-- $25 million for payments to spinach producers
-- $120 million to the shrimp industry
-- $74 million for peanut storage
-- $5 million for shellfish, oyster and clam producers

"Spinach, shrimp, peanuts and shellfish? That's not a war funding bill, that's the salad bar at Denny's."

According to Limbaugh, that is -- $25 million for payments to spinach producer [singular]. Hopefully not the same one selling the contaminated product.

That's what bothers me more than anything. The bribery in order to convince an unwilling Congresscritter to support this nonsense. I just don't understand the bribe recipient's thinking. The bill is going to get vetoed anyway. Pelosi could have offered them a kazillion dollars for all it matters.

In any case, they shouldn't be holding their breath waiting for their spinach and shellfish subsidy money. They won't see dime one.
