House Passes Spending Bill, and Critics Are Quick to Point Out Pork
The House on Wednesday passed a $410 billion omnibus spending bill packed with pet projects requested by Democrats and Republicans alike.
Taxpayers for Common Sense, a watchdog group, counted more than 8,500 “Congressionally designated projects” in the bill and said the cost of these earmarks totaled $7.7 billion., up 3.4 percent from last year.
$1.7 million for a honey bee laboratory in Weslaco, Tex.; $346,000 for research on apple fire blight in Michigan and New York; and $1.5 million for work on grapes and grape products, including wine.

This one is my personal favorite. Seems as if the $$ would be better spent doing that research in Washington, DC, than in Iowa.
The bill includes $1.8 million to conduct research in Iowa on “swine odor and manure management.”
Richard's $.02 :munchin
If you can not put it in the Big Bill that everyone is watching just wait a few days and do it then.
All they have to do is go to DC to work on the Smell management and they are full of Manure so the research should be easier in DC.

Our children's children's children will still be paying for Stealfromus I and II. It is sickening to read this crap being thrust upon us by the SOBs in Washington.

Stealfromus 1 and 2 are chump change compared to the 3.55 Trillion (http://www.newsdaily.com/stories/tre51p5bb-us-obama-budget-republicans/) dollar vacuum cleaner he is currently selling the American people...
...and somehow we are supposed to believe that this 3.55 trillion dollar bottle of 'snake oil' is going to cut the deficit in half (http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/02/26/budget/index.html)?
Of course House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, praised Obama's spending priorities, saying, "At long last a budget that is a statement of our national values."
and strangely I agree with her... "a budget that is a statement of our national values"
Where is my handout? Why can't the gubmint pay for that?
The emperor has new clothes...
...and we are all gonna pay for them

My thoughts on the spending bill after some long thinking, I started thinking like I used to and doing some analisis of what i've been seeing and here it is;
The Dance
I have watched this Dance of Obama’s since before the election.
Something has always stuck in my craw, something I couldn’t put a finger on. Disturbing to watch the Lemmings follow to the cliffs of this administration.
I have watched with loathing the left wingers and the right wingers fight and squabble over this one’s policy. I watch the bickering and arguing about the Obama, and am seriously disturbed at the Magic of this man. He is possibly much smarter than he is believed to be by most of us. He is able to divert attention from his intended agenda by covering with his party's agenda driven left wing patrons positioned to do the Ground Fight and keeping the populace distracted with the present “crisis”.
Experts on the “Right” and the “Left” are caught up in this great distraction.
He has positioned himself outside the fray, and while the “experts’ are focused on his dance steps, both sides fail to see the dance is on our graves. The dance is the death of our Nation.
He has planned to destroy this nation, stay in power by usurping it, for his Muslin brothers in the same way Ronald Reagan brought down the Soviet Union by forcing them to out spend their ability to fund. Obama has indeed learned from Reagan, not to save America but only to force her into submission to Muslim rule.
