Republicans cave in to radical environmentalists. Shocking!

[Reagan Man]

>>>Literally minutes before adjourning for the year, the House of Representatives without debate unanimously approved a $261 million-a-year legislative grab bag of goodies for environmentalists and their allies in government...

Pork is pork, and enough is enough!

If you find this shocking ..prepare to be electrocuted in the coming months..imo

[Zviadist]

I fear you are very right. Must be "bipartisan"!

Trivial. This amount of money amounts to $1 per American. That surely will accomplish gigantic things. LoL.

Don't you have some other irrelevency to get hysterical about?

[Ben Ficklin]

There have been several articles posted on this House version of S990 but not one of them gives a House Bill number. Its like Henry, Sarah, and ALRA prefer that no one actually reads the bill.

The other articles mention that the house version was slightly different than S 990. Deleting the Pittman- Robertson portion makes it an entirely different pirce of legislation. There is nothing left but pork.

Um, um, um. Unbelievable.

"Apparently, the U.S. Senate will use our tax dollars to buy pig swill if it is sold in a green bucket."

Henry Lamb BUMP!

$1.3 billion here, $1.3 billion there...

pretty soon you're talking about some serious money.

[Iconoclast2]

The NEA has been able to federalize education and destroy our public schools with only $51 million a year. You have no idea what you are talking about. Read Ron Arnold's book on the subject, and then post on it.

"Trivial. This amount of money amounts to $1 per American. That surely will accomplish gigantic things. LoL."

It's not trivial. That $1/citizen amounts to a total that is aimed at a few people in paritcular. It is other peoples money, taken to provide financing for green pork programs and rulemaking, that transfers private property decisions to green orgs. Programs that the green nitwits wouldn't dream of financing themselves, because they no that in a Free world, they could never generate the funds and support themselves.

These takings are only trivial when it's not your stuff their after.

"Republicans cave in to radical environmentalists."

Operating expenses. Pork for some constituents back home and trade in the house for things like homeland security.

[justshutupandtakeit]

I would suggest you worry more about the multi-Billion dollar boondoogles and programs than this pittance. What the NEA has to do with this issue is beyond me.

[justshutupandtakeit]

This pittance is swamped by the true costly programs the governments run. Those are the ones worthy of hyperventilation not this small affair.

"This pittance is swamped by the true costly programs the governments run. Those are the ones worthy of hyperventilation not this small affair."

Here's a major feature of the bill that amounts to much more than a pittance and is worthy of being designated as a severe threat to private property rights.

"Specifically, S 990 creates a category called "species at risk," defined as any species identified by the secretaries of Interior and Commerce to be a "candidate species" for listing as endangered or threatened. Some $150 million a year would be allocated to enforce this new provision, with the grant money going to environmental groups, sportsmen's groups, land trusts and selected individuals for land acquisitions and programs."

This money goes to green orgs for propaganda, rulemaking and electioneering activities. It's a force multiplier for the dems and greens to engage in land and property right grabs.

There's no hyperventilation going on here, just pointing out the facts. This bill only appears as trivial matter if it's painted as low cost, but when viewed as a part of the big picture significant cost is manifest and also significant loss of Freedom is apparent.

Amazing how people here will contort themselves to justify big government. Big government is fine with you as long as the people taking our money have an "R" after their name. I've got news for you: you are not conservative. You are social democrats. There is a difference...

[justshutupandtakeit]

"Big" government at a buck a head. Oh, suuuure. If only "Big" government was so cheap.

You remind me of the democratic-republicans of 1794 screeching hysterically at the "monarchists": "King George" Washington, Adams, and Hamilton. Trying desperately to elevate Jefferson to office on a platform of ridiculous lies while undermining the nation at every opportunity. I certainly don't claim to be a "conservative" if you are one but you aren't and I am. This Bill is not one I have said I support but exaggerating the cost is absurd.

Go back to rooting for Pat, he is still as nuts as ever.
