Pelosi's mouse slated for $30M slice of cheese
Thursday, February 12, 2009


Talk about a pet project. A tiny mouse with the longtime backing of a political giant may soon reap the benefits of the economic-stimulus package.

Lawmakers and administration officials divulged Wednesday that the $789 billion economic stimulus bill being finalized behind closed doors in Congress includes $30 million for wetlands restoration that the Obama administration intends to spend in the San Francisco Bay Area to protect, among other things, the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi represents the city of San Francisco and has previously championed preserving the mouse's habitat in the Bay Area.

That's because there's a Gerbil shortage in that area.

Let's not forget the "Bud Shuster Highway" in PA near Altoona as an example of Republican "pork"

Hypocrisy come in two flavors in Washington, DC, Republican & Demecrat, Red State, Blue State

So why act surprised?
I forget....was that part of some economic recovery plan? No it was not. :down:
 
Doesn't matter! Pork is pork and BOTH parties are guilty. Sorry to confuse you with facts.

Could it be that the Republicans are soooo upset because they didn't get any pork for their districts?

Fact is we don't really have a two party system. What we have is ONE party determined to take our Freedom, Liberty and Fruits of our Labor and divide up amongst their supporters. They split them into two parties so they could fool us or most of us.

BS it does matter. When their fearless leader tells us there is no pork in a so called "Economic Recovery Plan" to "Save us all" because "Time is of the Essence" and "We need to act now" or "Doom and Gloom blah blah blah, and "Not a single pet project," and "Not a single earmark." as he stated.

And he even campaign on it, along with his dopey Hopey-Changey BS....

Look at his web site:

Shine the Light on Federal Contracts, Tax Breaks and Earmarks
http://www.barackobama.com/issues/ethics/

* Create a Public “Contracts and Influenceâ€￾ Database: As president, Obama will create a "contracts and influence" database that will disclose how much federal contractors spend on lobbying, and what contracts they are getting and how well they complete them.
* Expose Special Interest Tax Breaks to Public Scrutiny: Barack Obama and Joe Biden will ensure that any tax breaks for corporate recipients — or tax earmarks — are also publicly available on the Internet in an easily searchable format.
* End Abuse of No-Bid Contracts: Barack Obama and Joe Biden will end abuse of no-bid contracts by requiring that nearly all contract orders over $25,000 be competitively awarded.
* Sunlight Before Signing: Too often bills are rushed through Congress and to the president before the public has the opportunity to review them. As president, Obama will not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days.
* Shine Light on Earmarks and Pork Barrel Spending: Obama's Transparency and Integrity in Earmarks Act will shed light on all earmarks by disclosing the name of the legislator who asked for each earmark, along with a written justification, 72 hours before they can be approved by the full Senate.

WTF???? :shock:
