I was watching Fox news (I refuse to watch the 3 national networks anymore - way to left and biased to be real news people any more - not that fox is a whole lot better but . . . ) when the vote occured. They had a man that we describing the "sweeteners" that were added into this most important national economic bill. There are hundreds of pages that contained great "deals" (sweeteners) for specific businesses. He pointed out the following 2 (he said that there are hundreds like these in the bill but these are 2 that he stumbled upon.)

Companies that make Wool (yes the stuff from sheep)
Companies that make Wooden Arrows for children’s bow and arrow sets.

I kid you not. He read it right from the bill itself.

Can anyone explain to me the madness in this? Tell me our government is looking out the people that live on "main street" in this most troubling economic time?

I about fell off the couch when I heard him reading these items. My wife about choked on her water.

What do sheep and wooden arrow makers have to do with this critical economic crisis that we face and why are they getting these special deals?

I think this goes to show how "dis-engaged, dis-associated, or dis-lexic" politicians on the hill are from the real world because they are all dissing us and pulling the wool over our eyes.

I hope the great people of this country vote all of these jokers out of office in the up coming elections and show Washington who really has the power!

As for the "change" that Obama is promising . . . I believe that he is definitely going to do just that. He will take every dollar that you earn and give you a little bit of change in return. Unbelievable.

Just my opinion. OK. I feel better now.
