Loads of Pork, Little Accountability in Senate Bailout Bill: Will the House Balk?

The leaders of both the Republican and Democratic Parties are rushing ahead with their $700 billion bill, says Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party candidate for president. Without a single hearing and without considering other solutions, Congress is preparing to put the typical American family on the hook for more than $8,000. Legislators in both parties need to stand up for the American people and say no, says Barr. www.lp.org

Wooden arrow's WTF!!!!!! I am in the wrong business...

This should be called the BULL&^&% Bill. This is the first time in my life Liberals and Conservatives agree on something. Let the markets work this out. Imagine what this country could do with 700billion. Health care, road construction, schools etc. Tell you congressman this vote should go down in flames. In November what these pork spenders out of office

Where is my earmark??????? Where is my bailout???????

Is it possible to determine who attached these "earmarks"?

EMO time... Seems business as usual, nobody listens to the voters anymore. Sell all your assets, have a six pack and ask for a hand out.

laden with pork , I was really pleased that both sides were getting somewere, but this , laden with pork at a time like this wont get us any were.

It's time for a tea party in Boston.

$128M for auto racing? What the hell. Are we really paying for all this crap. I can understand maybe the Fisherman but Wooden Arrows? Come on. I think everyone in congress needs to lose there jobs, Dems and Rep.

I guess we should not be surprised at the gifts for rum producers, Alaskan fishermen, and makers of wooden arrows larded into this legislation. It shows the same quality of thinking that went into the previous version.

Silver Surfe here ... No Bail Out ... Write the Great American Plan with me after we beat this down. Victory is sweet with the Sweetners gone. Vote them out when they vote yes.

I agree with all the above. Look out average American family. Vote no house of rep's, WE are Watching!!

Wooden Arrows? WTF?

that is our congress again lets just get back to the core of what we have to do get it done with out all the bull

If this doesn't pass, no jobs, no credit, no joe six pack. Let the House remove the pork. Pahlin must have her hooks in the fishermen .

real news WOULD report on WHO the congressman was that attached said "earmarks"

Once again, congress is more worried about votes back home with their pork barrels then concerning themselves with the overall good of the country. If they are not stealing or being bribed they are padding their own pockets. We need some accountability in Washington and someone with enough Bxxxs to veto this type of spending. Maybe we need someone who can shine a little light on the actions of these congress people so when it comes time to be re-elected the voters know exactly who has their hands in their pockets

Silver Surfer here... Unfortunately this is no joke... This type of legislation can enslave our childrens future... Stop the Bail Out... Write the Great American Plan once we defeat this garbage.

The Senate has the gall to add crap to this bill? WFT! What a bunch of greedy, ignorant morons. Sweeteners? I am too pissed off to listen to the news, and these pricks pass this crap by a 74-25 vote?

We need a Boston Tea Party...
