those who give in
Sadly, most of the bills from Congress and signed by the President are pork-filled.
That was the outcry from many about the Prescription Drug bill -- it provided bukoo billions$ for the drug and insurance industries. Had the funds just been applied to a simple (similar to VA) drug plan, it would have ended up costing much less overall. Now, it is going to cost $Trillions over the next decade with the drug and insurance companies making obscene levels of profit.
Pubbies are very good to big business and self interest groups.

Unfortunately, the USSC ruled that the line item veto was unconstitutional.
It was passed and signed by X42 and immediately went to the Court.
