What is your favorite piece of pork in the latest $400 billion stimulus package?

I guess the Republican amendment meant to spur car sales. It gives a tax credit for people buying a new car retractive to October of 2008. No funding for the time machine to go back and buy the car though.

The swine odor study would be my favorite because it is funny but it is not in the stimulus. That came from a list of shovel ready projects submitted by the States to the Obama administration. But the package has no earmark for that study. There is money in that amount for unspecifed clean air research. Not sure that is better but it is not as funny for sure.

Also:

It's not true that the bill contains spending for "golf carts." It has $300 million to buy fuel-efficient vehicles, some of which may be electric cart-like utility vehicles like those already in use on military bases and at other government facilities.

Money claimed to be for "remodeled federal offices" is mostly designated for upgrading buildings to "green" status through such things as thicker insulation and highly efficient lighting, not new drapes or paneling.

A widely repeated claim that $8 billion is set aside for a "levitating train" to Disneyland is untrue. That total is for unspecified high-speed rail projects, and some of it may or may not end up going to a proposed 300-mph "maglev" train connecting Anaheim, Calif., with Las Vegas.

There's no money in the bill specified for butterfly parks, Frisbee golf courses or water slides, despite a GOP congressman's claim that the bill "will fund" those projects. He culled those silly-sounding items from a list of 18,750 city projects that the U.S. Conference of Mayors cobbled together as examples of "shovel-ready" projects.

There is no funding for abortions in other countries. The ban was removed on giving funds to organizations that provide abortion advice or perform abortions. Like the American Red Cross. However, no money was actually designated to do any of that.

Only $1,760,000 for "swine odor and manure management"?

That's it? Less than 2 million $$$ for this important work.

Surely that is just for the opening "investigation"... to find out where swine odor and manure comes from.

I can think of a couple of places....

Oh, yeah! And from pigs, too.

.

.

At its center, the legislations is designed to ease the worst financial recession in generations, and combines 1000's of billions of dollars in new spending with tax cuts. a great number of the money might decide for victims of the recession in the form of food stamps, unemployment reimbursement and wellness care. There are funds, besides, for shape of highways and bridges. however the administration additionally desperate to apply the bill to make a down fee on key enjoyed ones projects, which contain advent of a sparkling wellness technologies marketplace and so-talked approximately as eco-friendly jobs designed to make the country much less based on imported oil. And Democrats in Congress desperate to characteristic extra huge sums for the states scuffling with the recession, besides as billions greater for well-known courses which contain parks, the restore of monuments in federal cemeteries, wellness and technology examine and greater.

You do know that a Republican put that one in, right?

In fact, Neil Cavuto himself looked into it and found that the majority of the earmarks and pork in that new bill came from Republicans and NOT Democrats.

Neil Cavuto. You remember him, don't you? The FOX NEWS money guy...? Yeah, he found that the Republicans were the ones messing up there.

I like the shoulder. A lot of muscle and when done, the bone can be easily extracted. The stimulus bill has none. Maybe you mean beef?

I need to buy a couple of pigs so I can bring home the bacon.

I think even obese Jeb Bush can't finish a pork so big.

The $1.8M earmarked to study the smell of hog manure.

Yep, it smells like s*** to me. What do you think?

I think it smells like s*** too. Let's go cash our $1.8M Obamacheck.

Cha-Ching!

i will manage manure for the rest of my life for $1.76 million.

I like my pork well done.
