Here\'s some of the the stuff or "pork" that was added to the 700 billion bailout, which actually added another 150 billion,...republicans did not like the first bill the dems sent to them, so they loaded up on the pork and now it gets approved,....and it seriously has me questioning how much of a crisis that we are actually in....everybody was saying that if we don\'t do something quick everything will fall,....now that we have a bill with something for everybody, all is well?...i smell bulls**t of the highest order brewing.....there are some good things in it, but there are also ALOT of things that are not neccessary....here\'s a small of some of the things they added to the new bill...which puts it at about 850 billion by the way...

There\'s far more other stuff that they added that deals with renewable energy and i kinda agree with some of those policies, but here? just look at some of the stuff they want added....an absolute waste.....s**t like this just makes me believe that bush & co. were conjuriing up scare and fear tactics just to save wallst. Both parties should feel ashamed for how they proceeded during this crisis if there was truly one....politicians are afraid to sign on this bill fearing that if it doesn\'t work, they\'ll be blamed for it, yet they want to take credit for it at the same time if it does works,..both sides are playing games.
