Pork Bill

So how about this pork Bill? From what I see, it sounds like one of the stupidest Bills ever created. An article from Fox News writes,

"Among the special projects taxpayers paid for this year are a $25,000 study of Mariachi music in Las Vegas and an $80,000 hangout in San Diego for gays, lesbian, bisexuals and transgenders. Another $100,000 went to a Punxatawney Phil museum in Pennsylvania and $175,000 was assigned for a therapeutic center for horses. Alaska fishermen were given $3 million to help them sell seafood."

I don't understand why someone would want this Bill even if we weren't in a time of war and major deficit. It will probably pass because it is a bipartisan Bill, and the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Ted Stevens, said, "This is a bipartisan bill. I don't think there is a senator in this chamber who cannot or has not claimed credit for at least one bill,"

I really hope that President Bush vetoes this bill if it gets to him.

If you're not with us, you're against us
