I think maybe the whole bill should be read word for word don't you?
It hard to believe they just sign on the dotted line and agree to spend tax dollars like piss water with out ever knowing what they're actually signing into action.
That's a bullshit way to run a country in anybody's book.
Senate Democrats' now-abandoned 1,924-page omnibus spending bill contained more than 6,700 pet projects known as earmarks. They include:
_$1 million for peanut research in Athens and Tifton, Ga.
_$3 million to restore oyster beds in the Chesapeake Bay.
_$360,000 for the Buffalo, N.Y., police department to purchase surveillance cameras.
_$800,000 to develop advanced packaging for combat rations.
_$4.4 million to develop laser technology to counter roadside bombs and other improvised explosive devices.
