What do you know about Bill Baroni? Is he going to run against either of the two slugs, Lautenberg or Menendez?

[OB1kNOb]

$506 million for Little Rock, Arkansas airport improvements alone?

Good Grapes of Wrath!

[Teflonic]

He’s in the state senate now but I’d love to see him unseat Lautenburg. I no longer live in NJ so it’s up to the few conservatives left there to encourage Mr. Baroni to pursue higher office. I know he’s willing but perhaps not able in the socialist environment there.

$500 million for solar water heaters for rural area families in Cidra, Puerto Rico!

$@#$%$%^&*$ !!!!

[Zeppelin]

that’s 17 BILLION 500 MILLION...

cmon now, don’t blow things out of proportion! (sarc)

Sad when “billion” and “trillion” are thrown around so much, to the point where we get them confused...

[mojitojoe]

$1,500,000,000 State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance

The beginning of his personal civilian security force, as large, as well funded and as well armed as our current military. ppppsssstt then he begins to cut funding and get rid of the present military leaving him with a military that is loyal to him. That's his plan, it won't work.

[XR7]

Okay. Okay.
I stand corrected.
17 BILLION, 500 MILLION!
That should make us all feel better, huh.

[Zeppelin]

with a population of 4 million, that’s ONLY $4375 / Puerto Rican.

chump CHANGE!

[XR7]

Keep smokin’ out the pork!

Initiative to Reduce Prostitution-Off the Streets Program. This initiative would connect individuals involved in prostitution with resources to leave a life of prostitution. Beginning with emergency shelter and continuing with an array of educational Dayton OH $1,500,000.00

This one would actually cause a loss of jobs, not that any of the other things create any.

[Gabrial]

I did a quick computation and this bill represents new debt to each American taxpayer (defined as an American that pays his/her taxes properly - as opposed to 0bama’s cabinet appointees) of about 12 grand per taxpayer.

[XR7]

That’s on top of whatever the Bush trillion-dollar bailouts will cost us?

[Candor7]

Massive pork patronage for those who elected the ObaThing.

Chicago pay back.

It will prolong the recession by keeping investor confidence low and adds no value production to the economy.

That is we print more money to pay for this, and then no goods are produced that will spark economic growth. Just money in pocket for the Dem machine.

Socialism at work to destroy our economy and its capitalist base.

Investors will leave America in droves. Hell, they already have, which is why the Dow was below 7900.

http://www.stimuluswatch.org This is what congress looks like today, as our economy continues to go SOUTH:

[penelopesire]

Sure are alot of dog parks in this bill. I guess that is kinda a ‘shovel ready’ project....lol!!

We can all go to work and get paid to literally shovel dog $&@%!

Great!

[Spunky]

[Spunky]

From the link:"These projects are not part of the stimulus bill"

So the stimulas is Pork above and beyond this Pork.

My wife always joked about the high price of dairy products, "It's not like they have to kill the cow to get it."

SEC. 104. (a) Hereafter, in this section, the term "nonambulatory disabled cattle" means cattle, other than cattle that are less than 5 months old or weigh less than 500 pounds, subject to inspection under section 3(b) of the Federal Meat Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 603(b)) that cannot rise from a recumbent position or walk, including cattle with a broken appendage, severed tendon or ligament, nerve paralysis, fractured vertebral column, or a metabolic condition.

Hereafter, none of the funds made available under this or any other Act may be used to pay the salaries or expenses of any personnel of the Food Safety and Inspection Service to pass through inspection any nonambulatory disabled cattle for use as human food, regardless of the reason for the nonambulatory status of the cattle or the time at which the cattle became nonambulatory.

With this bill, maybe we'll be paying even higher prices for dairy products. Hate to break the news to Mrs. HH.
