This is an impressive piece of research, on the face of it.
“Pork” has always been a big issue with McCain, who , as we
all know , has been so maddeningly weak in so many other ways, on so many other issues.
I don’t have the patience to add up all 100 expenditures
but I KNOW they don’t amount to more than a fraction of
stimulus money that’s either been spent, is in the batter’s box, waiting to be spent, or whatever.
I’d be interested to see what it adds up to.
But as for now, it all looks very much like the kind of government waste that’s been going on for decades.
Even though it would have a good, “positively negative” effect on Obama,to reveal it to voters
who still aren’t aware that the stimulus package didn’t stimulate anything for 99.999 percent of us.
Missing also is an analysis which ties it all together, and shows how inherently PARTISAN the expenditure of all those billions is, and just WHO IT BENEFITS.
I overall agree that they all have been doing this for decades. and McCain is all but worthless.
But... to put the name ‘stimulus’ on a crap load of pork and promote it with a teleprompter as the savior over and over and over saying it will save us all is blatantly wrong above all that is wrong in DC.
