accordingtoalannaLet’s just remember come election time that it was the REPUBLICANS who sought to eliminate the pork-barrel spending injected into the $700 Billion Bailout package that was designed to attract each states representatives.
There was more than $1.7 billion worth of targeted tax breaks.
The special provisions include tax breaks for:
* Manufacturers of kids’ wooden arrows – $6 million.
* Puerto Rican and Virgin Is- lands rum producers – $192 million.
* Wool research.
* Auto-racing tracks – $128 million.
* Corporations operating in American Samoa – $33 million.
* Small- to medium-budget film and television productions – $10 million.
Attaching these sort of sweetened up and extraneous measures, which were just meant to rally up enough votes for the bills passage, will lead to more problems in the future. This is special-interest politics at it’s finest. This isn’t OUR Congress, this is the Congress of big corporations, lobbyists and PAC’s.
Today I will be contacting my state’s representatives and senators to voice my disapproval with their voting. No this bill is not the be all end all to our economic woes, heck the day it passed the DOW dropped 200 pts. The American people who are paying for this bailout have to show our elected officials that we are not just the mules who are working to pay for Wall Street’s messes, but we have a voice and demand to be heard. Contact your representative to tell him/her this is not how you want your money being spent.
Check how your representatives voted. HOUSE // Senate
