So. Have you read the 451-page bailout bill just approved by the Senate? You can get the pdf
here. One reason why it's so long is it contains oceans of pork dealing with tax breaks for:
--makers of kids' wooden arrows
--Nascar racetracks
--wool research
--farm machinery (but no grain bin or cotton ginning asset, sorry)
--abandoned mine reclamation
--rural school self-determination (whatever the hell that means aside from someone stuffing their pockets)
--hurricane Ike relief
--TV- and filmmakers
To me, nothing says "revive the U.S. economy" like "cheaper kids' wooden arrows."
The pork starts on page 261
